Focus on the Crocus

What is Focus on the Crocus all about?

Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) is working with The Eden Project, the International Flower Bulb Centre (IBC), the National Trust and Learning through Landscapes to plant purple crocus bulbs from the beginning of October so they will be in flower for Rotary Day – 23 February 2011.
These Purple Flowers represent the colour of ink dabbed on a child’s little finger to indicate they have been immunised against polio.

Rotary clubs across RIBI are currently contacting their local schools, residential homes, local councils and other community organisations to ask them to identify suitable sites which can then be planted with swathes of purple crocus bulbs in the autumn – as a reminder of the essential need to continue the fight to eradicate polio from our world.

There are so many ways you can help. Just contact your local Rotary Club or look them up on the Club search on www.ribi.org
