THREE local men have taken part in the Allied Mid Devon project to plant 130,000 daffodils in Mid Devon.

Mark Ruddock, Dave Harris and Marek planted more than 2,000 daffodils in Crediton in Crediton Parish Church churchyard, the verge at Western Road, near the tennis courts at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre and at the corner at Blagdon.

The daffodils were planted in memory of loved ones lost to Covid and to add a splash of colour and brightness in the spring.

Allies Mid Devon is a community group based in Tiverton which is co-ordinating a project across the whole of the Mid Devon district to plant more than 130,000 mixed daffodils as a way of remembering those people we have lost to Covid-19, whilst also brightening local spaces every year with a burst of colour.
