Gardening Coffee Morning for Adult Learners Week May 2005

In celebration of Adult Learner's Week, Newbold Verdon Library held a Gardening themed Coffee Morning for the local people.

There was a beautiful art display to view and a display by the local gardening club.

Whilst enjoying a cup of tea or coffee people could browse a vast array of Gardening books. Some of the books contained a special ticket which entitled library users to a free packet of seeds or gardening directory. There was also the incentive to take out 4 books to win a hanging basket.

People were encouraged to use the internet to look at useful Gardening Websites and to try there luck at a Gardening Quiz which had some lovely prizes.
