Wisteria Festival At Bridgwater & Taunton College in Cannington

On Saturday 9th May I went along to the Wisteria festival held at Cannington by Bridgwater College at their Centre for Land Based Studies. They asked me to take some shots for their photo library and also for publicity.

There were lots of things to see. Below we have the big greenhouse found in the Walled Gardens recently visited by HRH the Earl of Wessex Prince Edward .

Or if horses were your interest you could visit the stables at the equestrian centre or even ride on a horse.

If you had the time you could squeeze in a picnic whilst listening to the live band playing in the Walled Gardens. A brilliant day.
