A group of schoolchildren have helped replant 1,500 bulbs on a Glasgow road.
The Mosspark Primary School pupils joined Scottish Water and Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA) workers on October 9 to replace the plants on Mosspark Boulevard that were removed due to ongoing works in the area.
The replanting is part of a larger project that will see more than 9,000 bulbs planted on the boulevard.
Paul Milligan, communications manager at CWA, said: "We have been engaging with many schools along the route of the new pipeline throughout the project.
"It was fantastic to get Mosspark Primary involved who have a historical link to the original bulbs planted on Mosspark Boulevard.
"The children did a great job and were so enthusiastic and quick at planting the bulbs."
Catriona McBride, headteacher at Mosspark Primary School, said: "We were delighted to participate in Scottish Water’s bulb planting event.
"Mosspark Primary had been involved in the original bulb planting event which took place many years ago.
"It was a privilege to continue the involvement of the school, in partnership with Scottish Water, to enhance the look and wellbeing of our local community.
"It was a historical moment and a memory which pupils and staff will never forget.
"The school can’t wait to see the wonderful blooms next spring."
Scottish Water is currently undertaking work in the area to improve the water mains network.
The multi-million pound project will benefit almost one million customers and help improve the security of supply for customers.
It will connect networks in Glasgow and Ayrshire between the Milngavie and Bradan Water Treatment Works (WTW) via a two-way water supply.
This upgrade will benefit customers in Glasgow, Ayrshire, and East Renfrewshire areas.
The project is expected to be completed in late 2024.
