With a little help from members of the Rotary Club of Wellington pupils from IKB and Wellesley Park primary schools planted 1,700 crocus bulbs in their school grounds.
The purple crocus is asymbol of Rotary's worldwide polio eradication campaign.
In 1985 there were 125 polio endemic countries. Thanks to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, of which Rotary is a partner, there are now just two countries still classed as endemic - Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Rotary Club of Wellington continues to play its part in the End Polio Now campaign, annually donating to the cause from its charity account.
