'Purple for Polio' Crocus Planting 2016
Rotarians Peter Williams and Richard Perkins at one of 5 sites selected for Crocus planting in 2016
In the Autumn of 2016, in collaboration with Redditch Borough Council, the Rotary Club of Redditch planted 5,000 purple crocus corms in 5 prominent locations around the town. As soon as the crocuses came into flower the following spring, signs were erected to highlight Rotary's 'Purple for Polio' campaign, and press coverage helped to explain the background to this national campaign to raise awareness of Rotary's role in eradicating Polio worldwide.
Our club also participated in the successful Guinness World Record attempt by Rotary Club of Redditch Kingfisher to plant over 15,000 purple crocus bulbs in Arrow Valley Park in 2019.
