Sunshine bright daffodils will soon be appearing in parts of the recreation ground thanks to the help of Sunny Ile Pre-school children who joined Ilminster Town Council for a special planting session.

The council invited youngsters to plant daffodil bulbs, accompanied by Mayor Emma Jane Taylor. The council’s two open spaces wardens helped the children find their green fingers and plant the bulbs into the holes.

Cheryl Herrick from the pre-school said: “Although it was a very wet and windy morning, the children listened to the warden and were eager to plant the bulbs.

“Each child also went away with a daffodil bulb as a thank you for their efforts and looks forward to growing their own daffodil at home.

“We all look forward to going back in the spring to see their fully grown sunshine yellow daffodils.”
