Adopt-A-Plod

Thursday 26 June was Gryphon School’s ‘Enterprise Day’ where students spread out around the town doing good works.

Their contribution to Sherborne In Bloom was to go round many of the adopt-a-plots and help tidy up and plant ready for this year’s floral displays.

Here a group of kids are working to improve the garden outside Sherborne Police Station. This patch was planted with a variety of flowering shrubs supplied by Castle Gardens. Let’s hope the boys in blue will have plenty of time to keep the plot clean, tidy and watered in the weeks and months ahead!

The pupils seemed to enjoy their day out (at least it wasn’t raining) and very ably demonstrated the considerable benefits of child labour in Sherborne’s ‘Bloom’ efforts.

South West In Bloom
This year the town was unable to compete in the South West in Bloom competition, after reaching and maintaining the highest standard of excellence winning four GOLD awards over four consecutive years; bringing to the town the highest accolade it can gain. There is much hope that next year the town can rejoin the competition and go one step further and reach the national UK Britain in Bloom finals.
