Today was a very special Art and Gardening Session as we had guests Christina and co from the Heygate Estate to run a Go Kart building session for upcoming Heygate Grand Prix on Sept 1st. Christina has been running Go Kart decorating sessions with local youth groups who will bring their creations to the abandoned estate to race this Autumn.
The regular gardening group extended to include some local families I have met during filming, which made a lovely but rather large group to collaborate on the Go Kart design. The children worked very well together, from a two year old to a twelve year old everyone contributed to creating the Pembroke Pocket Garden vehicle. A name is yet to be decided, but suggestions included 'Fire Garden' and 'Press the Frog' (our horn was a ribbeting frog).
With flowers, real orchids, wooden fences, our own pond, two frogs and blazing flames coming out of two huge exhausts I think we have a good chance in the competition...
