Richmond Villages Painswick welcomed 17 pupils from The Croft Primary School for an intergenerational gardening club designed to bring young people and retirees together.
During the visit, children and residents created bird houses, bug hotels and bird boxes, while also planting sunflower seeds together.
The items were gifted to the school’s forest school project to help encourage wildlife and outdoor learning.
Village manager Cheryl Cox said the activity highlighted the value of connections between generations and the benefits for both residents and children.
Activities co-ordinator Stephen Chamberlain said the gardening club is an important part of village life and organisers hope to make the school visits a regular event.
