The weekend weather was perfect for gardening - and meant our gardening club got off to a fantastic start. The long-awaited sunshine meant picnics were perhaps a bit more tempting than planting. But our new gardening club leader Helen had everything under control - and thanks to her expert supervision, the meadow has a whole new area of wildflower plants!

Here's what we planted - you should be able to see some of them in bloom in a few months.
