Having had some money left over from our Greggs Foundation grant for our raised beds project, we approached the Foundation to see if we could use it to create some flower boxes that would go around the base of the newly installed outdoor classroom. We were pleased to receive the go-ahead, and so set about designing, building and filling the boxes with a variety of different heather (great for bees!) and an assortment of springtime bulbs that would bring some colourful cheer to the orchard.
Thanks again to everyone who came and made this project possible.
