MORE than 80 children got their first taste of spring during an activity event to celebrate the new season at Harcourt Arboretum.
The children, aged between five and 12, got up close and personal with dozens of varieties of trees and flowers during the event at the arboretum, in Nuneham Courtenay.
As part of the day children made replica ducklings and also took part in a leaf identification event.
Pictured playing hide and seek are, from left, Joel Garden, eight, Ben Smith, eight, and Joshua Bridges, five.
Kate Castleden, education and outreach officer at Harcourt, said: "It was a nice day in the fresh air and having been cooped up all winter they really enjoyed being out and about and getting their hands dirty."
