Tulips from Bermondsey

 

Tulips are blooming all over Bermondsey, thanks to the Greener Bermondsey project. 

 

10,000 tulip bulbs were planted across the area in November, in commemoration of the centenary of Ada Salter's Bermondey Beautification Committee (which sought to plant trees and flowers throughout the district in order to beautify the area), and now they are in full bloom.

 

Pictured above: the Mayor of Southwark, councillors and community leaders viewing the tulips across the road from Bermondsey Station, and remembering 'Ada 100.'

 

 Here are some members of the congregation planting bulbs after church in St James Churchyard.
