Organiser Jo Golesworthy said: “All of the children have really enjoyed the afternoon and we have had a lot of interest.

“The children have really loved all the planting we have done, and the older children enjoyed the quizzes and word searches.”

The afternoon was an opportunity for kids who love gardening to learn about all aspects of the horticultural world.

“The children planted lettuces, beans and flowers.

“They also made some lemonade.”
