I was taking about one of the groups I am involved with that just spent £10,000 pounds on 200,000 crocus bulbs to help make Hyndburn look pretty in spring. HBC assisted by funding the machine planting of 100,000 bulbs in places classed as to dangerous for community groups to plant like on the Dunk roundabout. The other 100,000 crocus bulbs were planted by community groups all over the borough.
As for why it cost money , bulbs don't grow on trees
As for profits - there are none at all in monetary value what so ever. Just a warm glow inside that we made a difference.
