The volunteers who look after the Shifnal Millennium Sensory Garden have kept the garden pristine and hope that people continue to enjoy the beautiful nature.

Ann Hughes said: "The volunteers have managed, between us all, to keep the garden looking its very best. The seating in the Serenity Circle is ideally spaced for distancing which has enabled friends to meet and chat surrounded by the beautiful flowers and birds.

"Zumba classes have started to meet there once a week and also an art group have recently made use of the garden. The hard-working volunteers are delighted that the community have found comfort in the garden and hope to bring continued pleasure to everyone during these difficult times."

The garden has been thriving in the sun
