A HUGE congratulations to every child in Abbeyfields as our outstanding allotment was awarded the RHS Gold Medal in the ‘Britain In Bloom’ competition at the awards ceremony on Wednesday night. All of the children’s year round hard work preparing the beds, planting and pricking out thousands of seeds, potting on multitudes of plants and spending hours watering, pruning, weeding and feeding has paid off by not only providing the kitchens with a constant supply of fruit vegetables but national recognition of their efforts too. The feedback from the national judges was outstanding and heaps much deserved praise on our uniquely green fingered children, setting them aside as some of the most skilled and knowledgeable young gardeners in the country – high praise indeed! Don’t hang up your spades just yet though…there’s still much work to do to prepare for winter and spring crops!
