Sunflower planting in the sunshine

Once agai

n this year the children from The Space Play Centre walked down to the Wolverton

Road Recreation Ground to plant sunflower seeds with Stony in Bloom volunteers. Karen Parker had donated the seeds, which the children sowed in pots. As always, they were full of enthusiasm, and sowed their seeds with great care. Later in May they’ll be back to plant them out along the Wolverton Road Allotments fence as they did last

year, so passers-by had a wonderful array of golden sunflowers smiling at them as they walked in the park. The children’s names went on the pots, and will be attached to the plants when they’re planted out, and in the autumn they’ll be measured in a competition to see which is tallest.
