WORK to create this year's festive garland at a National Trust property on the banks of the River Tamar has got under way.

Staff and volunteers at the property near Saltash have set to the decorative work and the full 60ft dried flower garland is expected to be finished by Saturday, November 23. Visitors are being invited to see its progress throughout the two-week build.
