Natural harmony triumphed at Oxford's Burton Taylor Theatre as the Vera Legge School of Performing Arts performed The Plotters of Cabbage Patch Corner.

Bees and ladybirds made friends with slugs and other pests in the final song as the plot's good-versus-bad battle between garden creatures ended with all of them united.

Valerie Dennis, who runs the youth performing arts group, said: "We were extremely pleased with how it went. All the children thoroughly enjoyed it. We have a lot of talented performers."

The group staged two performances on Saturday, December 21, and both sold out.
