A primary school in Windermere teamed up with a five-star hotel to plant 750 daffodils.
On November 4, Langdale Chase hotel, in Windermere, part of the Daniel Thwaites group, joined forces with Goodly Dale Community Primary School to plant the bulbs.
Hotel staff, including general manager Mike Vincent and head gardener Claire Farrington, worked with the school's eco club to plant the daffodils.
The bulbs were donated by Daniel Thwaites and included four different varieties, 'Ice King', 'Ice Follies', 'Golden Anniversary', and 'King Alfred', all differing in their flower colour, height, and flowering time.
This will ensure a long-lasting display this spring.
Ms Farrington said: "We really enjoyed working with the students at the school and were very impressed by their planting skills.
"It was great to leave the hotel for the afternoon and do something positive for the wider Windermere community.
"At Langdale Chase, we are avid gardeners, and we are proactively looking to inspire the next generation.
"We hope everyone in the school and neighbouring areas will enjoy the display."
Langdale Chase, located on the shores of Windermere, has been welcoming visitors since 1891.
The hotel underwent a careful and sensitive restoration and now offers a new era of laid-back luxury and style.
The hotel's gardens, planned and laid out by renowned landscape gardener Thomas Mawson, retain many original features and are currently being brought back to their former glory as part of a multi-year project.
