Cornerstone Youth Club brings colour to Draperstown with bulb planting project
Members of Draperstown’s Cornerstone Youth Club joined forces with with pupils from St.Colm’s High School, with support from the Housing Executive in a community initiative to brighten Plantin Park.
Both groups worked together to plant bulbs that will bloom into a stunning display of flowers in the Spring, adding vibrant colour to the heart of the town.
Co-ordinated with the aim of engaging local people with meaningful community work, encouraging teamwork, environmental stewardship, and pride in public spaces.
Speaking about the event, Sharon Crooks, Mid-Ulster Area Manager for Housing Executive said:
“This project is about more than just planting bulbs; it’s about planting the seeds of community spirit. Watching the young people work together with such enthusiasm and dedication is truly inspiring.
“These flowers will brighten Plantin Park for everyone to enjoy, and I am so proud of the effort they’ve put into making this happen.”
All young people involved have been commended for their hard work and enthusiasm, with many expressing prides in their contribution to improving the local environment.
“This project is part of a broader effort by Cornerstone Youth Club to promote positive youth engagement and environmental awareness in the Draperstown community.”
