HAND painted flower pots have been given to the town's older residents who are too frail to tend their own gardens.

Beaver Scouts from First Droitwich Colony made green gifts for residents at Ravenstone Nursing Home, in St Andrew's Street and Rashwood Nursing Home.

The youngsters, who meet at the Scout Hut, in Acre Lane, painted flower pots with individual designs and planted pretty summer blooms in them.

Young beaver scout, Simon Jackson said: "Some older people are not able to get out to see their garden, so we decided we were going to take the garden in to them."

The colony welcomes new members, but is currently in need of an assistant leader.
