This Week at the Teaching & Learning Hub

Linda has given the Chill Out Cabin another coat of paint which has brought out the colour well. New volunteers have been planting more of our fruiting hedge and planted some into pots ready for next week. Well done and thank you all for your help.

The spring flowers are looking fantastic at the new Teaching and learning Hub. They were sown and transplanted by Astley spark School pupils a few months ago. Looks great. Also the veg are ready for planting in the new raised beds a job for the pupils in the next few weeks well done everyone.

Earlier today we were working with 2 year 11 groups from Astley Park School. They finished moving the last of the 8 tons of topsoil we had delivered last week into the various raised beds. They also helped to plant peas, carrots, potatoes and transplanted sedums into larger pots. Thank you everyone, you always work so hard. Well done.

We had a big surprise tonight when about 40 Police Cadets turned up tonight to help with the planting, weeding, sweeping and other tasks that are still needed to be done to be ready for our Grand Opening on the 17th June. The group photo shows some of the volunteers. Thank you everyone for your help.

We had a visit this morning from the ASDA Community Champion who gave Chorley in Bloom a lovely donation of watering cans, pots and seeds. We also had 4 volunteers who helped with tree and vegetable planting. Thank you everyone.
