At Osbaldwick Primary Academy, we have managed to build upcycled planters out of old climbing frames, renovate our old sandpit into a veg bed, brightened up the area with lots of lovely bee-friendly flowers, planted apple and pear trees, and fostered a real love of caring for the environment with our KS1 pupils. We have also bought new tools and procured a pop up greenhouse. Our highlight this year was a very successful tomato harvest!
The children have loved being involved in the gardening club and we will be continuing running it this year with more upcoming projects; we hope to establish a wildflower meadow, grow new types of fruit and veg, get a compost bin going, and build a bug hotel.
We are so grateful for the YGT funding so may I take this time to once again thank you for your support! We would not have been able to renovate our area without your help.'
