We all know that getting out in the fresh air and doing something active is great for keeping your spirits up. What is more there is increasing evidence that gardening can have a really positive influence on everyone’s mental health, including young people. We were very excited therefore when a group of year 9 pupils took the option to follow a short course in gardening this summer term. They have a great project to get on with too. Sadly, our pupil garden has got a bit over grown of late, so the year 9 team are determined to knock it back into shape so that more young gardeners can take advantage of the space. A great project – putting back into our community while learning and having fun!
