Torbay
children attract crowds to Chelsea Flower Show exhibit
Yesterday was the first day of the Chelsea
Flower Show, where members only could visit. |

Jenny Harriman reports
“A large crowd were gathered around the Miracle-Gro stand
where a vegetable garden had been set out using grow bags
which looked like willow baskets but were filled with a wide
range of vegetables grown by children from across the country.
The stand was surrounded
by brightly coloured pencils that usually are seen in children's
playgrounds and the backdrop was the school wall with vertical
tomato planting.

In the forefront
was the Brixham Church of England Primary School grow bag with
shallots sprouting. Stoodley Knowle School also had their produce
on show.
It was wonderful
to think that Torbay youngsters had made it to this international
stage and that they were exciting so much attention. |

It was great to see so much interest this year in vegetable
growing with the Waitrose stand a stunning combination of flowers
and vegetables in tonal hues to represent the seasons.” |
