Youngsters have the chance to meet Shrek and Princess Fiona on Saturday, August 26, when a Norwich garden centre welcomes them to its swamp.

Notcutts Garden Centre has invited the green duo to give young gardeners fresh tips to look after their own swamp.

Shrek will be giving every visitor a packet of special cress seeds that have come all the way from Far Far Away, so they can make their own swamp garden at home. Notcutts' gardening experts will also be on hand to offer tips and advice on how to create the perfect royal garden.

Richard Greenacre, centre manager, said; 'We are delighted to welcome Shrek and Princess Fiona to the garden centre. 'Gardening is a fantastic hobby for children and so easy to get into.'

Children can meet Shrek and Princess Fiona for free at Notcutts, Daniels Road, Norwich, from 9am to 11am.
