Frome Rotary Club and students from Critchill School have planted 5000 purple crocuses in 3 separate locations around Frome, they are: North Parade, Boyles Cross and in the grassed area between the Canoe Club and Welshmill weir. This is part of a nation-wide campaign to help raise awareness and aid in the eradication of Polio- a condition which is still widespread in a number of countries. The purple crocus is a symbol of the campaign.
Mark Branson, one of Frome Town Council’s Rangers, who has been working with the two groups to plant the flowers said, “We can all enjoy watching these stunning flowers grow in Spring next year, and also recognise the Rotary’s commitment of working to eliminate polio.”
