GREEN-FINGERED youngsters took part in a mass planting for charity in Normand Park at the weekend.
Children of all ages were joined by parents and members of Hammersmith Rotary Club at the park, off Lillie Road, on Saturday (6/11).
The &apos;Focus on the Crocus&apos; event saw 2,500 of the plants&apos; purple bulbs dug into the ground to support the Rotary&apos;s Thanks for Life charity which helps tackle Polio.
Around five million of the bulbs were planted by Rotary clubs across the UK at the same time and will burst into bloom by February 2011.
Christoph von Luttitz, of the Hammersmith branch, said: "We wanted to attract attention and more funding to the dramatic end phase in the complete and permanent victory over a diabolic disease that has killed and maimed millions of children across all countries, including the UK."
