The Camblesforth School potting shed is the latest donation to the school from local business English Village Salads.
The Garden Club is run by Fiona & Ian Fenton and is aimed at bringing the children closer to nature and helping them understand where their food comes from. This is the ethos shared by the organisers of the 'Year of Food & Farming',
The Yorkshire & Humber region's Year of Food & Farming initiative was launched in September this year. The campaign is aimed at helping children reconnect with the countryside and develop a life-long appreciation of food.
English Village Salads are supporters of the initiative and are delighted to be involved with Camblesforth Primary School's fantastic Garden Club.
Kelly Colrein, Marketing Manager, EVS said "this latest edition to the garden club is really going to help keep up the momentum through the cold winter months. The children are really excited about it. They have grown all sorts of vegetables this year, including onions, carrots, lettuces - all of which have been harvested and eaten by the members of the club. All of the people involved in the club, including head teacher, Miss Parker, should be congratulated in making this project something that themselves and the children can be really proud of".
