Green fingered pupils transform school garden

Pupils at East Linton Primary School are working to revamp their school garden with support from Stewart Milne Homes.

The leading housebuilder recently awarded £1,000 of funding to the school as part of its Eco-Gardens initiative.

Overseen by Gill Gardner, Head Teacher at East Linton Primary School, children from the school’s P3 and P4 class have started to get underway with the ambitious project and are learning positive skills that promote health and wellbeing, with their efforts providing a vibrant space for pupils to learn and play.

Funding from five-star developer Stewart Milne Homes has been used to purchase a planter for each class in the school, with parent volunteers helping to clear spaces of weeds, ready for planting.

Gill Gardner, Head Teacher at East Linton Primary School, said: “Pupils have had a brilliant time working together to bring the school’s garden to life over the last few weeks.

“It has been amazing to be involved with Stewart Milne Homes’ Eco-Gardens initiative, and we’re looking forward to unveiling the final garden design to the rest of the school to enjoy now we are into the new school year. A huge thanks to our parent council who have played such an important role in this exciting project.”
