ASPIRING gardeners demonstrated their green fingers yesterday.
Youngsters from Consett Infants School, in Teasdale Road, Consett, went on a field trip to the town's Focus Do It All DIY store and garden centre, in Front Street.
Staff gave the reception class demonstrations on plant potting and plant care, before letting the children loose on some of their plants.
The trip was arranged as part of their science work for the National Curriculum.
Teacher Cheryl Beresford said: "It was a wonderful day out for them and they really got a lot out of it."
