We hope that the new planters will add a bit of fun and sparkle to the Hub. We will be planting them up with bright plants soon. The sandpit has been moved from the covered nursery area by the Chorley Council operatives and will be used as a lower raised bed. Moving the sandpit made a tremendous difference to the teaching area available.
Chorley in Bloom welcomed 2 classes of YR11 pupils from Astley Park School today sowing seeds a little bit early for the RHS Big Seed Sow. First they watered the seeds they’d sown the previous weeks, using pop bottles with special small screw tops that had watering hoses on them which they found fascinating. They learned about saving rain water and recycling pop bottles and that plants needed watering to help them grow. The vegetables will eventually help to feed others less fortunate than themselves. Thank you for your help Astley Park School.
The raised bed next to the boundary by the railway is progressing well and we are all looking forward to finishing clearing the brambles and replanting on our side of the boundary. Still lots to do but we’re getting there with help from Chorley Council.
The raised beds are coming on a treat with seeds sown and some more bulbs put in amongst the plants already doing well in one of the raised beds by Keiran. Thank you again for your help.
