After a two-year hiatus, the Knutsford Big Bulb Plant is back for 2025.
The community-led bulb planting programme puts the bulbs in the hands of residents – inviting them to host a bulb planting event on their neighbourhood green spaces across a two-week period. This year’s Big Bulb Plant will run from 20th September to 5th October.
The initiative is coordinated by Knutsford Town Council which provides planting organisers with a collection of suitable bulbs and leaflets to deliver to neighbours inviting them to lend a hand.
Residents who want to see more spring flowering bulbs popping up on spaces near them in spring 2026 can register to host a bulb planting event on the Town Council website at www.knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk/big-bulb-plant. They just need to register a location, date and time of their planned planting session (which must be within the period from 20th September to 5th October).
Town Clerk, Adam Keppel-Green said “The Big Bulb Plant is all about seeing our town bursting with colour in the spring, whilst also providing some much-needed early nectar for our pollinating insects”.
Previous years have seen bulbs planted at green spaces across the town, from Manor Crescent to Queensway. Previously planted areas can have more bulbs to boost displays.
