Spring is Coming
Last October, 5,000 crocuses were planted on the lawns of Willen Hospice to celebrate the "Thanks For Life" campaign, a celebration of the charity - End Polio Now.
Volunteers from Milton Keynes Grand Union Rotary Club, Willen Hospice and the local community were involved in planting the crocus bulbs that have now blossomed into a beautiful purple swan, taking the form of Willen Hospice’s new logo, designed especially for Willen's 30th Anniversary and 30th year of caring.
The Purple Giant crocuses look spectacular in the grounds of Willen hospice and can be clearly seen by walkers on the lake-side path.
Paul Hinson Chief Executive of Willen Hospice said, “We are delighted to see that the 5,000 crocus bulbs we planted last year have bloomed so magnificently. They look stunning, when walking around the grounds of the hospice or Willen Lake, especially when the sun is shining. We have had many favourable comments and our patients really appreciate them too.”
