# Gardening success

We were delighted to be awarded not only a level 2 but also a level 3 RHS gardening award. The award is testament to the hard work the children have put in form our initial request that came from the children themselves to do more gardening in school after they were so enthused with our plants topic to the resilience they showed when some of our plants did not thrive and problem solving to make our outside area look better and better each year. We can’t wait to carry on our gardening journey and now that we have a gardening club up and running we are sure that our growing efforts will go from strength to strength.

A huge thankyou to everyone who has donated plants and seeds for us to use – our school community is always such a great support and we are extremely grateful!
