Some members of our Eco Council enjoyed a visit with Mr Larkham to the new pocket park at Abbey Foregate, where they learned more about the importance of creating green spaces for both wildlife and the local community.
During the visit, Jen from the Shropshire Wildlife Trust spoke to the children about the exciting plans for planting up the community garden at the back of the park. The pupils were keen to share their feedback and ideas for the project, offering lots of thoughtful suggestions about the types of plants and features they would like to see included.
It was lovely to see how a previously unused area of our community has been transformed into a community space that can be enjoyed by both wildlife and local residents.
A big thank you to Jen and everyone involved in developing this wonderful community project. We can’t wait to see the garden take shape over the next few months!
