The Sunday School at St Michael and All Angels' Church has received a special Ledbury in Bloom award.

For a number of years the youngsters have been responsible for the planting and upkeep of containers outside the west door of the church.

This year, the children, parents and Sunday School leaders made a collage called 'And God Made the World', which was a key exhibit in the church when both the regional and national Britain in Bloom judges came to visit.

In recognition of their hard work, the Sunday School is to be presented with a new award for youth, The Heathfield Trophy, donated by Ledbury in Bloom supporters Barbara and Brian Miller. Ledbury in Bloom committee members will make the presentation on September 28.
