The team are delighted to announce the launch of the school’s beautiful new Community Market Cart!
The cart will spend most of its time on the school driveway where it will be accessible to school families and local residents alike and is intended to act as a “gardening swap shop” between the school and wider community. The hope is that anyone and everyone will use it to donate, swap or take home surplus fruit and vegetable produce, saplings, plants and seeds. Whilst donations are always welcomed (and will be put directly into the school garden’s compost fund) they are never obligatory. The Market Cart will also be host to a permanent herb garden which people are encouraged to take cuttings from rather than buying pots from the supermarket and which the pupils will maintain. Paper bags and scissors are available for cutting what you need. As always, we are hugely grateful for anything which you may wish to donate. Surplus tomato plants, your glut of rhubarb or your unwanted packets of seeds - they will all be put to good use by someone. We are also still welcoming old supermarket pots of herbs which the children can bring back to life with some TLC. Please feel free to get in contact if you have any queries: [email protected] Watch this space for lots of exciting events taking place this summer which the pupils will be making the most of the cart for. We would like to extend our thanks again to the RHS for their support for the project as part of their Connected Communities Scheme as well as to Councillor David Ashcroft and East Hampshire District Council who also helped to fund the project.
