The Triangle Community Garden open day at Ransom’s Recreation Ground was bursting with activities, sound and colour – with yarnbombers Hitchin Stichin adorning the garden with their woollen creations.

Garden City Samba’s drumming brought a carnival atmosphere to the day, and the Forever Hounds Trust held a much-enjoyed dog show.

There were also performances from Zumba Robert, the Hitchin Allstar Choir and the Lesnick School of Ballet, along with tours of the garden and its projects to help adults with learning disabilities lead healthy lives.

“We were delighted with the event,” said organiser Vicky Wyer. “It was our biggest and best open day yet, and filled Ransom’s Rec.
