Squire’s donate 230,000 bulbs to the local community!

Squire’s Garden Centres has donated a massive 230,000 tulip bulbs to local parks, green spaces, schools, hospitals and charities across the South East!

This donation was made possible by Squire’s “Love Where You Live” campaign, where the garden centre pledged to donate 10 bulbs for every bag of bulbs that customers purchased in September. The campaign has been such a phenomenal success, that Squire’s have been able to donate and help plant 80,000 more bulbs than their original target of 150,000.

Local councils, school children and community volunteers joined Squire’s team members to plant the tulip bulbs throughout October.

Sarah Squire, deputy chairman of Squire’s commented; “We have been overwhelmed by the response to our ‘Love Where You Live’ campaign, and we are very grateful for the support our family business receives from local people. It’s fantastic to be able to give something back to the communities where we are located. Autumn is the best time of year to plant spring flowering bulbs. ‘Tulip tarda’ is the variety we have donated. It has clusters of beautiful yellow and white fragrant star-shaped flowers. It has won the RHS Award of Garden Merit, and I am sure that it will produce a spectacular display of colour come next springtime.”
