PRIZES were given to those enjoying growing their own in Hereford at an event in the city.

The annual Hereford Allotment Society prize-giving was hosted by Councillor Marcelle Lloyd-Hayes at the Mayor's chambers at Hereford Town Hall.

There are now more than 420 plots in Hereford, with both young and old enjoying the outdoors and the delights of gardening.

Next year there will be a number of centenary commemorations of the First World War and the Hereford Allotment Society hopes to participate in a 'Dig for Victory' event.

New members are always welcome.
