NOTHING beats saying it with flowers except perhaps chocolates but they put weight on.

It was in this spirit that Burford House Gardens, near Tenbury, had a special event for Mothering Sunday.

But instead of just buying a bunch of flowers or a plant there was a chance to pot a primrose.

“Children really enjoyed getting hands-on and making their own very special Mother’s Day gift,” said Paul Benson, manager of Burford House Garden Store.
