Sensory garden project blossoms!

We are delighted to share that work on our Sensory Garden Project is continuing to make great progress.

Over the past few weeks, the garden has really started to take shape, thanks to the hard work and support of our school community. We are especially grateful to our wonderful school volunteer, Steve Chorley, who has helped us make some fantastic improvements to the space. Steve has connected four new water butts, which will help us collect and store rainwater for sustainable use in the garden, as well as constructing two wooden compost bins to support our recycling and composting efforts.

Another exciting development is that the main raised bed has now been planted with butterfly-friendly flowers. These beautiful plants will not only brighten up the garden with colour, but will also help attract butterflies and other pollinators, making the space even more vibrant and wildlife-friendly for everyone to enjoy.

T

he Sensory Garden is becoming a wonderful area for pupils to explore, learn and relax, and it is lovely to see it growing step by step.

What’s next?

Our next job is to treat the two main raised beds with wood preserver to help protect them and keep them in good condition for years to come.

We look forward to sharing more updates as the project continues!
