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.
