00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,360
I'm Linda Pillinger
2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,040
and I’m one of the team leaders
3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,960
at Keynsham Girls’ Brigade.
4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,080
Keynsham Girls’ Brigade meets at the Methodist
5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,560
Church in Keynsham once a week.
6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,760
It's a Christian Uniformed organisation
7
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,520
for children aged four plus.
8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,680
We planted out part of the garden here
9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,600
and the girls have planted
10
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,480
sunflowers and various seeds to take home.
11
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,320
At Christmas,
12
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,160
the girls made seed bombs
13
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,200
for people who attend a group
14
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,080
for sort of people that live on their own
15
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,080
and they've been learning about pollinators
16
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,320
and the fact that there's sort of less
17
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,000
habitat around
18
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,200
and the importance of sort of creating habitats.
19
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,280
Things like not cutting down all the weeds at home,
20
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,160
having, you know, if you've got a big garden,
21
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:45,360
you have a little space where nettles can grow.
22
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,160
The twinning is through
23
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,640
a charity called Ripple Effect.
24
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,760
And so we've got our garden here
25
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,920
twinned with a garden in Migori in Kenya.
26
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,920
The person from Ripple Effect
27
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,240
came in and talked to the girls
28
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,120
about the life of a child of a sort of
29
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,840
similar age to them,
30
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,000
and the sort of the difference that it makes.
31
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,720
So they talked about what sort of fruit
32
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,320
that they grew over there,
33
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,720
how they could make gardens,
34
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,000
how they could make most use of water.
35
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,000
What's really
36
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,400
excited me about it
37
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,800
is the amount of interest people have taken in it
38
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,280
and the amount of pleasure
39
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,080
that the girls have had in planting, watering
40
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,160
and generally looking after the garden.
41
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,480
Quite a few different groups
42
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,640
meet at the church here, including Help the Aged.
43
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,320
They've asked about it
44
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,000
and they look out to see if there's anything
45
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,600
new that's being added to the garden.
