They’ve bulbed a million suns
In the grass of Sefton Park, Assembled, primed, and classified A weapon of mass construction, An army of the heart. From 'A Million Suns' highly commended poem, Wirral Festival of Firsts, 2015 |
In 1989 the Marie Curie organisation adopted the daffodil nationwide as its symbol after a successful marketing campaign in Liverpool. A year later, working with the City Council, they planted a million daffodils in Sefton Park, and named it ‘The Field of Hope’. There are now several fields of hope in Liverpool and indeed in other towns and cities of the UK.
