The EPICC Garden Project

We aim to develop our school garden to educate our students about where their food comes from, and to promote sustainable ways of producing food. Our students are given the opportunity to gain knowledge, expertise and life skills through hands-on, skills based learning. The work we do with out students in the garden is a vital vehicle which our staff use to build relationships, deliver nurture sessions and re-engage our students who at times can experience barriers to their learning.

More fruit and wildflowers

Our garden seems to have survived last nights storm, today we have bee gathering more raspberries and blackcurrants to go in the freezer for jam when the school term starts in September.

Our sweetcorn is benefiting from the hot sunny weather and is really starting to grow.

Our wildflower bed is looking fantastic with loads of different varieties, the bees are buzzing around and seem to be enjoying the wildflowers almost as much as we are.

Our courgettes are starting to flower and there are the first sign of baby courgettes too.
