These six classes receive the 2022 Golden Flower Bulb Award because they and 2.250 other classes of schoolchildren in England , The Netherlands, Germany, Canada, France and Sweden signed up for the Bulbs4Kids flower bulb project. Bulbs4Kids is an international project meant to acquaint children in primary schools with flower bulbs by means of fun, hands-on activities.

An increasing number of studies find the positive effects that experiencing the natural world has on health. Playing in a natural environment and experiencing plants hands-on contributes to the healthy balanced development of children. It makes them smarter, fitter and more creative. But the problem is that urbanisation has made the distance between people and the natural environment greater than ever before. That’s why Bulbs4Kids sends 2200 free Bulbs4Kids packs to primary schools. The Bulbs4Kids project allows pupils to become familiar with flower bulbs and the wonders of nature.

Bulbs4Kids is initiated by iBulb, the marketing arm of the Dutch flower bulb sector. By means of global PR and advertising campaigns, iBulb is also committed to stimulating the international use of flower bulbs, bulb flowers and bulbs in pots.
