YOUNGSTERS and volunteers from Hampshire dug deep to help sew seeds in a wildlife garden for disabled children.
Armed with shovels and pitchforks, scores of green-fingered helpers joined the Rainbow Centre in Fareham to plant 700 camomile plants to complete their Wild Garden project.
As well as planting the camomile lawn, volunteers erected nesting and bat boxes in the hope that youngsters using the centre, who have severe cerebral palsy can enjoy watching wildlife in action.
Those offering their free-time were pupils from Redlands and Wallisdean primary schools and a team of employees from Barclays Bank.
Helen Somerset-How, from the centre, said: "It was really lovely to have our own Rainbow Centre children as well as the local school children and volunteers taking part in creating something that the community as well as the centre can be proud of and enjoy for many years to come."
