The allotment is a two-minute walk away from school and sits amongst a row of village community plots. We developed the allotment as a nature garden in 2015/16 with groups of parents willing to help create the off-site space, so that children could learn more about nature and wildlife in small family groups with their key person every week. In addition to a greenhouse and raised beds for planting, there are fruit trees and bushes, compost heap, a fire circle with tree stumps for seats, barrel pond, hedgehog house, bird feeders, bird bath, mixing kitchen, woodwork and construction site, cabin and a loo shed! We also have chickens at the allotment who are happy to lay eggs for us each day.
