CHILDREN have been finding out where their fruit and vegetables come from at this Easter’s Bloomin’ Kids gardening workshops.

Around 100 youngsters from across the area got hands-on experience of sowing broad beans, beetroot and salad seeds, as well as planting out tumbling tomatoes, yellow cherry tomatoes and basil plug plants.

Workshops ended with an arts and crafts activity where children learned about the honey bee. The young gardeners were shown a real beehive and honeycomb, and painted pictures of bees, sunflowers and honeycomb.

The Easter Bloomin’ Kids gardening workshops were organised by Farnham Town Council and were free to attend, thanks to a donation of £280 from Waitrose’s Community Matters green token scheme and Farnham in Bloom Community Group volunteers leading many of the activities.

Each child went home with the fruits of their labour and a Farnham in Bloom goody bag.
