FAMILIES looking for a hand-made gift that will last beyond Mothering Sunday will find that greenfingers will help.
Squires’ Garden Centre in Heathlands Road is organising a special long weekend of planting that will ensure the present will have staying power.
The Create and Grow event runs from Friday, March 20 through to Sunday, March 22.
For £6, children can create a basket that has three colourful plants in it. They can then decorate a bow, and present the whole thing as a present.
A total of 20% of the entry price will be donated to horticultural charity Greenfingers, which creates magical gardens for children’s hospices.
And children can also win a sticker by completing a free flower wordsearch.
There is no need to book to take part and sessions run from 9.30am to 3.30pm on the Friday and Saturday, and from 10.30am on the Sunday.
