Scilla Bulbs in bloom along the Rotary Link. In 2016, the London Hyde Park Rotary Club had planted 10,000 Scilla bulbs with the help of Banting horticulture students under the direction of some Parkway Garden employees. Erik Jacobsen of Parkway had recommended Scilla bulbs rather than crocuses, as rabbits and squirrels tend to leave them alone. Photo courtesy of London-Hyde Park Rotary Environment Chair Shayne Mann.
