GREEN-FINGERED youngsters at a Bridgwater playgroup will be able to improve their gardening skills thanks to a town council grant.

The Kids and Co Dragon Playgroup at St George’s Hall, Kendale Road, received £300 towards their allotment project from Cllr Mick Lerry.

The children who attend the playgroup often spend time at the local allotment digging and growing their own food.

The playgroup has so far funded the project with their own cash and the ward grant will go towards the final cost.

Cllr Mick Lerry said: “The playgroup will benefit from being able to spend time at the allotment as part of their daily or weekly activity, while at the same time understanding the basics of gardening and growing food.”
