Green Fingers at

The BBC Garden Show

“We took part in the BBC Garden Show at the Forum, in April. All the students and staff worked hard growing plants to sell and making flowers out of plastic bottles. We chose photos to tell the story of the Green Fingers Allotment and got T Shirts printed. I looked round the show on the Friday with Sue. It was good and lots of people came to our stall. I also went on Saturday with mum and dad and we bought some chilli plants. I also talked to a lady about her animals.” Joe

“The show was organised by our friends Gary and Wendy at the BBC in Norwich. Kate and I counted how many plants we had to sell and put labels on the flowerpots. I sorted photos with Cameron and we decided how they should be labelled. I went to the show with my Hamlet Centre friends on the Friday and bought a Cosmos plant. Then on Saturday I went with mum, dad and brother. Mum bought a Shoofly plant and some marigolds. Mum and dad thought the garden show was brilliant. Some of us went to visit the other stalls to see what activities people were doing. Everyone enjoyed the show. We raised £70.” Nicky
