GREEN-FINGERED business partners have given the gift of colour to a North Somerset village.

Shaun Washington and Marie Glover of Locking Gardening Service created a raised flower bed opposite the post office in Grenville Avenue.

Marie said: “It was our way of contributing back to our community and we have had lots of positive feedback that it has brightened up a corner of the village that was dull.

“It has been great to get this feedback and that was our intention in creating it.”

It was created using recycled wood while the flowers were provided by a gardening company, with some additional plants donated by Locking Parish Council.
