Many of the students at Brecon College had worked on creating the poppies which are now on display in the new poppy cascade displayed in the town’s Peace Garden.
After the original cascade disappeared from the garden, The Brecon Hive were up against the clock to create a replacement in time for Remembrance Sunday last year.
Students at the college stepped in to paint the poppies, completing the work in less than a week.
The eye catching cascade situated next to the Falklands memorial is the result of the hard work by the students.
The students had also been busy making wildflower seed “bombs” using recycled paper and mixed wildflower seeds.
The papier mache “bombs” can be thrown anywhere that wildflowers can grow as the paper acts as compost for the seeds as it decays and encourages the young wildflower plants to grow.
The Brecon Hive plan to sell packets of the “bombs” to raise much needed funds for the Peace Garden project.
Two students, Hannah Charnley and Amy King, have been working in the Peace Garden.
Hannah planted the area around the Francis of Assissi statue with colourful flowering plants meanwhile Amy worked on the project to plant memorial trees on behalf of local bereaved families.
So far four memorial trees have been planted in the Peace Garden as part of the new initiative for grieving families.
Both students took it upon themselves to water the new plants in the Peace Garden, often twice a day during the very warm and dry weather.
Brecon Hive said that the students “very much enjoyed” meeting Ms Jones who, along with their certificates, gave each student an individually handwritten card thanking them for their hard work in the Brecon community.
