Somer Valley FM and Bath College bloom together

By Susie Watkins 27th Jul 2021

Somer Valley FM, the local radio station for North East Somerset, based in Midsomer Norton, have had their gardens further developed and spruced by the Princes Trust 2 Team from Bath College.

The team, based on the Somer Valley campus, initially cleaned and cleared, renovated existing borders, planted afresh, and even designed and built a lit path.

Ben Perry, Princes Trust Team Leader was delighted with the results. He said: " The team were brilliant in planning and completing the garden redevelopment very quickly. Working well together, I'm sure the skills they are gaining as part of the Princes Trust training will help them in their future careers."

The Princes Trust Team is Sophie, AnnMarie, Ashleigh, Liam, Callie and Nathanial.

Richard Burgess, Station Manager said: "We have a great relationship with Bath College, across all the campuses. It's important to me and our team that we encourage our young local people wherever we can, from gardening through to media presenting. The students were a pleasure to be around – I hope they can find the right opportunities for themselves when their education is complete."

The Princes Trust next programme starts 27 September, finishing 17 December.
