A council was left red-faced after it celebrated a floral display - only for a gardener to spot cannabis growing in a roadside planter. West Parley Parish Council in Dorset hoped to add a splash of seasonal colour to the area with its communal display.
But eagle-eyed Tray Veronica spotted weeds of a kind sprouting out of the 6ft long planter. Volunteers looked after the planters every day and the council even included the offending plants in a photo of the display on social media saying it was 'looking lovely'.
Tray said: "It was last Sunday I spotted the plants. I was taking my child to a friend's house. I just found it hilarious. The council were looking after these planters every day.
