Our project is an extra curricular Organic Gardening Club focusing on growing our own fruit and vegetables in a sustainable way within our primary school grounds. This helps our mental health and well being, has created strong links within the wider community leading to other creative opportunities, helps break down barriers to participation and we are learning so much about wildlife habitats and the importance of our pollinators. We would like to develop our project and group by purchasing materials to filled our raised beds which are lying empty in time for this years growing season.
Amount requested: £1,000
