Friends of Horsham Park, the Samaritans and HDC

Planting spring bulbs in Horsham Park to celebrate the work of the Samaritans

Horsham Park

This is a partnership project with the Samaritans, Friends of Horsham Park and Horsham District Council. We will plant thousands of spring bulbs in the Park to celebrate the Horsham and Crawley Samaritans being in our community for 50 years. The bulb field will have 6221 mixed crocus and 6221 narcissus flowering in succession next spring. The number is significant. 6221 is the number of people who took their own lives in the UK in 2021. Volunteers are asked to commit to planting a m2 or possibly 2 in a marked out area. Planting will take place in two hour sessions over the weekend. You'll be briefed how and where to plant and provided with the bulbs. We have spades but you can bring your own bulb planting tools if you prefer. You’ll need to wear suitable shoes and bring your own gloves. This will be quite strenuous, so please only commit to volunteering if you feel your back is up to it and you can stay for the whole session. We are hoping for a mix of volunteers from across the community so that together we can celebrate the wonderful work that the Samaritans do listening to people with the aim of reducing the number of those who take their own lives.
