Westbury in Bloom works with WoT CofE pupils to colour village

Westbury in Bloom continues its work with local children from the Westbury C of E Primary School.

Sue Boyd of Westbury in Bloom said: "The 12 children involved were very enthusiastic and really got down to the 'what's' and 'how's' of planting four hanging baskets, under the expert guidance of Arthur Brice, Chris Muddiman and myself.

"I would like to thank Blaise Nurseries who kindly donated the plants, which included ivies, creeping jenny, pansies, polyanthus, varigated euonymous and cyclemen."

The children also planted spring bulbs and polyanthus in Packhorse Community Garden.

Sue said: "This is especially beneficial for the children as many of them walk through the garden on their journey to school, whilst other residents enjoy eating their lunch, chatting and even sunbathing there."
