LONDON, ONT. Are you looking for a safe and family-friendly hobby during lockdown? Why not grow a love for gardening? The activity can be a fun and safe way for kids to take a break from screens in exchange for some sunshine and if you don’t have a backyard, we have some indoor planting ideas from a garden expert. “It is a great for a child to learn gardening when they are young and there is so many different avenues they can go into and enjoy it with their family,” says Lynne Kring, general manager of Parkway Garden Centre in London, Ont.

The village of Waresley has a pub, a farm shop, a garden centre, a school, a church with a strong community spirit.
Rod Kerr, clerk to Waresley-cum-Tetworth Parish Council and secretary of Waresley Cricket Club says lots has been done in the village to keep people connected over the last year during the pandemic.
“The Bluebell 19 volunteers were there to help those who were affected by the lockdown. They helped to deliver food, essentials and prescriptions to those who needed them and this was a huge success, said Rod.
