Junior soldiers to plant 10,000 crocuses on Harrogate's Stray
Junior soldiers in Harrogate will plant 10,000 crocuses on the Stray on Saturday.
The flowers will enhance the line of trees known as Peace Avenue close to the Empress Roundabout — adjacent to Skipton Road.
The Peace Avenue, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Harrogate in 2014, was originally planted by school children from across Harrogate to commemorate the soldiers who died in the First World War.
The junior soldiers from Harrogate's Army Foundation College will add to their efforts by planting 10,000 Jeanne d’Arc white crocuses on the weekend after Remembrance Sunday.
Lt Daniel Curry, commanding officer at AFC Harrogate, said:
Harrogate borough mayor, Cllr Victoria Oldham, is due to attend the event.
