Planting in Whitehall Park

As part of the  competition 'Whitehall in Bloom' the local councillors asked if the children from Ashleigh could be involved in planting bedding plants at the entrance to Whitehall Park. The Council donated £50 worth of plants to the three local schools which Mr Matthews kindly collected  from the Garden Centre.

The children carefully navigated the wheelbarrow full of plants, tools and gardening gloves to the entrance of Whitehall Park where they were met by the Councillors and spent the afternoon digging and planting.

The people using the Bowling Green were really pleased to see primary school children helping to improve their local environment and everyone commented on the children's gardening skills and how well behaved they were.

Well done to everyone who took part.
