400 Red Riding Hood tulips planted by families, young people and community champions alongside Ashington Town Council.
Ashington’s Memorial Garden was alive with colour, laughter and plenty of busy hands this morning as families, young people and community volunteers joined Ashington Town Council for a morning of joyful community planting.
Together, everyone planted 400 Red Riding Hood tulip bulbs – chosen for their striking red blooms, a fitting tribute in the garden that honours the town’s fallen – along with a scattering of hyacinths, all ready to burst into colour next spring.
Those planting were supported by Ryan, the Town Council’s Neighbourhood Services Officer, Tim and Sean from Northumberland County Council, and Cllr Louis Brown, who all rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in.
