STUDENTS have picked up an award for their efforts developing a community garden.

Evesham College’s Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) students participated in the RHS Britain in Bloom ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood’ campaign which focuses on developing gardens for communities/

ABI Centre gardening staff member Catherine Hughes worked with students, Tammy Macleod, Chris Lynch, John Higgs, Jon Evans and Vic Hall to achieve a level 3 advancing award which was presented in an award ceremony in Coventry.

Anna Humphries, ABI Centre coordinator said: “Our students continuously put tremendous effort into the ABI Centre garden along with the help of volunteers and staff.

"Every Friday during term time students tidy, sow seeds and look after their own patch of the garden which contributes towards a sanctuary for all to enjoy throughout the academic year.”

An acquired brain injury is an injury caused to the brain since birth with many possible causes, including a fall, a road accident, tumour and stroke. The ABI Centre offers a wide range of courses including digital photography, cooking, drawing and woodwork.
