Spring will be bursting out all over Milton Primary School when 100 bulbs planted by pupils begin to bloom.

Pupils Charlie Roberts and Charlotte Phillips

The collection of snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, tulips and lilies were planted out in the wild flower garden and under a willow tree tunnel in the school grounds.

Pupils Charlie Roberts and Charlotte Phillips are pictured with some of the bulbs.

Teacher Helen Tallent said: "The bulbs were free, so I decided to take advantage of the offer.

"The children loved it and enjoyed every minute.

"The flowers will brighten up the school, and the children will learn about the environment."

The bulb campaign is part of an initiative between the Vale of White Horse District Council and Frosts Garden Centre, at Millets Farm in Frilford Heath, to promote recycling and composting.

Frosts are offering up to £100 of spring bulbs to every school in the Vale to encourage more.

It is also the only garden centre in the district where people can buy a composter through the council's discount scheme.

The council's executive member for waste management Tony de Vere said: "We hope more children will work on environmental projects."
