Vote on next year’s campus floral display
Last updated on 16 July 2024
Every year, the Grounds & Gardens team work tirelessly to make sure that campus looks beautiful in bloom.
And as preparations begin for next spring, the team are giving staff and students the power to choose their favourite bulbs to be planted as part of next year’s display.
Staff and students can vote on four bulb mixtures, with the winner being planted on the former rugby pitch at Western Campus.
Working with internationally recognised specialists
The University’s gardeners work closely with Dutch specialists JUB Holland to plant over 14,000 bulbs across campus every year.
The team log over 700 combined hours every week during winter to make sure that campus is ready for spring.
James Wright, Senior Maintenance Manager (Managed Services) at the University of Leeds said: “A lot of hard work goes into making sure that campus is an amazing space to be in, and a big part of that is listening to those who use campus.
“This is a unique opportunity for staff and students to support in what is an essential part of our work.”
Voting closes on Friday 12 July.
