On a very cold morning on the last day of November, children from Ledbury Primary School School Council, accompanied by staff, came to St Michael and All Angels Parish Church to plant out the containers there.

They worked very hard planting Winter Pansies and miniature Daffodil bulbs, which will provide a lovely colourful show in the spring.

They enjoyed hot fruit squash, tea, coffee and biscuits to warm up at the end. Mary Anne and Jill from the Church, said that the children were very enthusiastic and friendly, displaying their full Ledbury Primary School Values and were a pleasure to meet.

A really lovely community collaboration between the School and Church’.
