MEMBERS of the 'Explore Course' under the guidance of tutors from Cornwall College have been busy completing the second phase of the refurbishment of Pennygillam flowerbed in conjunction with the Launceston in Bloom Association.

Weeds have been cleared, 15 tons of new topsoil added, together with bales of peat, 150 square metres of permeable membranes and seven tons of gravel. Hundreds of varieties of summer and winter flowering heathers have been planted to provide a welcoming splash of year-round colour.

Tutor Andy Kelly said: " All the team are extremely proud of their work on this project and are delighted with the results. Even the wall has a new 'topping'."
