Bluebell Wood

This Fundraising Page is in support of: Birmingham Centre – improving our knowledge of cancer and developing new treatments

Bluebell wood in Beacon Park, Lichfield

We planted 5000 bluebells on Sunday 11 March 2012, to create a Bluebell Wood in Beacon Park, Lichfield, Staffs.

Our aim is to raise awareness of the work of the charity, specifically the Birmingham Research Centre, while raising much-needed funds to continue this life-saving work.

We had over 120 people help with the planting. Donations and dedications are gratefully received! If we hit our target, we hope to do it again next year (at least to add to it).

We will update this page with photos of the bluebells when they come into flower in the Spring, so please keep coming back to check on our progress!

If you would like to donate "off-line", please email tamworthlichfield4cruk@yahoo.co.uk or call 0779 083 7601 for details of where to send cash/ cheques to. Thank you.

What an excellent day!

Mar 11 2012

It's been a very busy day, but we've been so lucky with the weather and support from the public! We had over 100 people turn up to help out and managed to get every bulb planted in under 4 hours!

We were even concerned we'd run out early at one point, when we had a queue of people waiting to sign in! Some people stayed all day, bringing their picnics and enjoying the spring sunshine.

The weather was fantastic - we didn't expect to be worrying about keeping the chocolate biscuits from melting when we planned the event. :)

Thanks to all who came along for your support - our total's over £1000 now, with the cash and cheque donations yet to be reflected on the website.

Well, it's two years since we came up with the idea of doing this and we're finally here! Can't believe how much stuff we need, but have it all packed now and just need to get it all in the cars. (Yes, cars - it's that much stuff!) Not least to be pa...

Getting Ready

Mar 6 2012

The bluebells arrived today! 5,000 hyacinthoides non-scripta (Native English Bluebells). We were keen to use native bluebells, not the common invader Spanish ones. These bluebells were cultivated in the UK (near Nottingham) and when they flower will have a love...

Introducing our idea

Feb 21 2012

We came up with the idea of creating a semi-permanent feature to raise awareness of the charity's work in 2010, not long after our group formed. It's taken a while to agree a concept with the council, but everyone's been really supportive and we're now re...
