A GREEN-fingered Wythall man has shown he is the cream of the crop by tending to the care home garden where he is a day patient.

Residents at the Brambles residential home, Birchfield Road, wanted to thank Ron Randle for bringing a splash of colour to their lives.

Mr Randle, 80, has been responsible for part of the home's garden for more than two years, planting flowers and vegetables.

He buys seeds and shrubs with his own money and even tends to his patch at weekends.
