Bulb planting for Wokingham spring

More than 200 Wokingham bulbs are to be planted at the CResCent Resource Centre in memory of the late Gill Flanagan, a community development worker and a key player involved in the centre’s establishment.

CResCent’s volunteers and Gill’s colleagues from Wokingham Borough Council are taking part in the planting at the centre off Warbler Drive, Lower Earley, on Tuesday October 30 at 1.30pm.

As a Wokingham community development worker, Gill covered a number of areas in the Wokingham Borough for more than 20 years, focusing on Earley in particular. Gill worked tirelessly to motivate, encourage and involve local people and for many years headed up the project to develop the CResCent Resource Centre and was involved in its planning, identifying funding and its eventual opening in 2003. Gill sadly passed away in June 2007.

Wokingham CResCent Resource Centre Manager Lillian King said: “Planting will comprise daffodil bulbs all along the banks adjacent to the CResCent Resource Centre car park which are in clear view from Rushey Way. We hope come the spring the bulb planting session will brighten up the area with vibrant and attractive colours in memory of Gill who was also a keen gardener.”
