GREEN-fingered residents gather this weekend to plant 30,000 bulbs and make sure their park is a riot of colour next spring.
Derwentside District Council holds its Bountiful Bulbs, Beautiful Blooms event in Consett Park on Saturday, from 10am to 1pm, meeting at the Park Lodge. The team will be bedding down the future snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells.
Anyone taking part should wear suitable clothing. Admission is free and equipment will be provided.
Heritage park development officer Maria McArdle is also looking to recruit new members to the Friends of Consett Park. The group meets once a month in Consett Civic Centre, to discuss new ideas to improve community use of the park.
Anyone interested should contact the council on (01207) 218000.
