EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from 1990, we see Chris Marsden (left) and Gerry Peach, better known as Bill and Ben, engaging with a group of enthusiastic youngsters at New Mill Library. The children, aged between four to eight years old, were treated to an exciting session filled with storytelling, seed-planting activities, vegetable printing, games, and quizzes. Bill and Ben brought their unique gardening expertise to the event, adding a touch of whimsy and fun to the morning's activities. As part of the Gardening for Beginners Year initiative, this event aimed to introduce young minds to the joys of nature while fostering a love for reading and learning. The joy on the faces of both children and adults is evident in this heartwarming photograph. It captures a moment where imagination meets education in perfect harmony. These beloved characters from books had come alive before their eyes – inspiring curiosity about plants and instilling valuable knowledge about gardening techniques. This snapshot not only transports us back to a simpler time but also serves as a reminder that education can be enjoyable when presented through interactive experiences like these. It showcases how libraries play an essential role in nurturing young minds by providing engaging events that promote literacy alongside other vital skills. As we look at this image today, it reminds us of the lasting impact such initiatives have on shaping curious minds into lifelong learners – planting seeds of knowledge that continue to grow long after childhood has passed.
