Liberators flower mosaics in Kew Gardens
and Lincoln Cathedral to mark the 70th

local council can plant 25,000 bulbs an
hour in grass as opposed to around 5,000

“budget-friendly” as the bulbs will flower
over a period of up to six months, so you
save money on mowing, and they will last
for a minimum of ten years.

Village Sensation, a Dutch company
