The new plot comprises raised garden beds, compost containers, water bowls and a wooden shed, as well as a great retreat area that they can use when doing outside school activities.

Karen O’Hare, head teacher of St. Edward's Catholic Primary School, said that the children are excited about starting to plant crops and to use the plot. Neil Wilcock, the Employment and Skills Coordinator for Merseylink, said that it is really important for children know where food comes from and, thanks to this school garden, they will be able to enjoy a safe outdoor environment, using it to get closer to nature.
