Our very own Angela Walton won 1st prize for an eco friendly container of wild flowers. This was touching as they were grown from seeds given out in memory of Dawn McFadyen. Angela was highly commended in the category for wild flowers grown in an unusual container - wildflowers grown in a straw hat! The winner had grown flowers in a set of bedside drawers! Prizegiving is at 3.30pm on 4th September at the Methodist church.

It was alive with butterflies and honey bees. Our churchyard too is eco friendly as it is not mowed and again sadly was not entered!. Next year…..
