Pumpkin
carving workshop is a Halloween hit at Burnham garden centre
 Youngsters
from across Somerset visited a Burnham-On-Sea garden centre this
week to attend one of its popular pumpkin carving workshops.
Staff
at Sanders Gardenworld hosted two carving workshops to tie in
with Halloween and more than 60 youngsters attended to create
weird and wonderful creatures from pumpkins.
Among
those who took part were Ryan and George Cox and Pheobe and Chloe
Morley from Burnham-On-Sea.
Sue
Waller, Event Organiser, said: "The workshops were booked
up far in advance of the day and proved very popular with both
the youngsters and adults. We got through more than 60 pumpkins
and lots of wonderful creatures were created by those who took
part."
During
the workshops, attendees were given tips and unusual ideas on
how to carve pumpkin cats, bats and ghosts.
Sue
added: "The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Next year
we are hoping to run even more workshops during the day and plan
to charge a nominal fee for the event with proceeds going to charity."
