Can you dig it? Garden boost for green-minded Rugby pupils

Green-minded pupils at a Rugby school are digging their new garden thanks to a donation.

Rokeby Primary School in Rugby enlisted the help of Barratt and David Wilson Homes in a bid to improve outdoor facilities.

Now the work is finished, they gifted a number of children’s wheelbarrows, gardening sets and benches to ensure the school’s pupils benefit further from the garden for their wellbeing and outdoor learning.

Headteacher Vicky Allan, said: “This garden will be enjoyed by our Rokeby children for many years to come.”

As part of the works at the school, the homebuilders turfed the garden and implemented a number of sleepers for raised planters.

Ashley Doyle, site manager, supervised the project.

He said: “We wanted to make sure the garden would become a valuable space for the pupils and we hope our donation of gardening equipment will serve them well in the warmer weather.”
