The sculptured pumpkin made by Crowborough artist Sara Hart as part of the Crop Project is an imaginative work of art.

But in presenting it to the American Embassy in London, Sara was also demonstrating a link between this country and the USA after September 11.

She has an American father and relatives in New York whom she feared might have been victims of the terrorist attacks although, fortunately, they were safe.

This last pumpkin for the project was the best and top of the crops.
