TWO new gardening enthusiasts have joined as volunteers at the Teign Heritage Centre.

Jude Featherby and Kevin Hadcroft are keen to make Teignmouth attractive to tourists coming into the town from the train station.

It comes as volunteer Christina Siviter steps back from tending the green space outside the centre.

Christina said: ‘A big thank you to all the visitors who have stopped to chat in the years I was tending the plants.

‘It is great to know how much they appreciated the way the bedding brightened up our town.

‘Sadly, after my accident at Christmas, my poorly knee made it impossible, and the weeds got the better of me.

‘Thanks to the council for cleaning them out, and giving Jude and Kevin a fresh start’.
