KNIGHTON Rotary president Angela Ellis and treasurer Sheila Smith attended the prize giving ceremony of the Knighton Children’s Gardening Club on Thursday, July 27.
The concept of a gardening club, based in the community garden behind to Knighton Library, was the brainchild of librarian Hannah Isaacson and volunteer gardener Tom Johnson was willing to take the youngsters under his wing.
The gardening club met on the fourth Saturday of every month, from 10.30am to 12 noon, from February until this event. Tom said: “I taught gardening to the children and found it very rewarding.”

President Angela added: “We are delighted as a Rotary club to be able to sponsor these awards. Young people getting involved in nature is to be applauded and encouraged.”
Every child received a certificate and prize, but judges were particularly impressed with the basil plant that won first prize.
Unfortunately, the first prize winner was not able to attend. However, many other children did come along and they enjoyed themselves very much.
