Yesterday morning I called in at Victoria Park Nursery School to present their cup for winning the 'Best School Garden Tended by Children' award in the Newbury in Bloom Competition. The Headteacher Fiona Bridger-Wilkinson asked me to come to the nursery to present the cup because the children were too young to attend the Newbury in Bloom prizegiving in September at the Town Hall, as it was held in the evening.
Its always a pleasure to visit the nursery school - Fiona and some of the other teachers are still there from the days my sons attended - its nearly six years now since Louis left. The lady on the right of the picture is another Gill - an ex parent who now comes to the nursery once a week to work with the children in the garden. Gill has been gardening there for a year now, and is making quite an impact with added colourful plants, a well stocked vegetable patch, and well maintained flowerbeds and shrubs.
