Residents of York, famed for its cycling culture and yellow blaze of daffodils on the city walls, are being invited to get growing and help welcome the Tour de France on 6 July by Planting the City Yellow.
Anyone who wants to get gardening and brighten the city can dig in as part of the city’s arts and cultural festival called York: Be part of it.
Thanks to local sponsor Aldby Field Nurseries, 1,500 packs of French marigold seeds, compost, a seed tray and instructions will be available free to residents keen to start sowing.
