A 'BIG Seed Giveaway' in Keighley proved a blooming success.

Keighley Horticultural Society distributed free seeds and planting kits, and offered advice, as part of a mission to get the town growing.

Members had stalls at two venues, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.

"Many people from Keighley and the surrounding areas came along," said a spokesperson.

"We gave away over 300 packs of seeds, plant cuttings, plug plants and seed potatoes.

"There were people of all ages, with varying gardening experience – including a 14-year-old who grows on his grandparents' allotment and a lady who has turned her small backyard into a garden where she can sit and enjoy watching the butterflies, bees and birds that now visit.

"Keighley and district really does have a passion for gardening!"

The society also invited people to go along to the horticultural marquee at Keighley Show, on September 2, with photos of what they grow.
