developed by the Rotary Crocus Campaign and the Youth Service Committee
of Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland (Rotary GB&I).
The crocus corms are paid for by sponsoring Rotary clubs , when the
crocuses start to bloom in Spring, the children will be advised on Rotarys focus on Polio erradication through its End Polio Now campaign.
Any Schools and youth groups who wish to take part in the future should apply online.
