ON May 29, Diane and Rob Cole from Feckenham gave a talk and slideshow called Birth of a Dream.

They met in 1986 and found they had the same interests and ambitions.

They lived in Birmingham and soon found they didn't have enough land so in 1998 they bought a three-acre smallholding in Feckenham.

Two acres were a meadow with wild flowers, which they have added to, and they have also made a nursery with 12 huge beds, all irrigated.

They have also landscaped the garden and after five years' hard work, mostly done by themselves, they have a working nursery where their flowers and plants are sold at shows.

They showed slides of the venture from beginning to end.
