Many of us have been planting spring bulbs this month, and the Stoke-sub-Hamdon Gardening Club was delighted to donate a box of narcissus bulbs to Castle Kids’ Patch, based at Castle Primary School.
Club members said they hope the children have fun planting them on their allotment, ready to enjoy the bright spring flowers next year.
Castle Kids’ Patch is a community gardening project for children that aims to connect them with nature, teach them about growing food, and promote sustainability.
It is a community-run initiative that began in Stoke-sub-Hamdon and offers hands-on gardening experiences through clubs and after-school programs.
The project involves activities such as planting, harvesting, and learning about the environment and healthy living.
Steve Morton, Principal of Castle Primary School, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the Stoke-sub-Hamdon Gardening Club for their generous donation.
“Opportunities like this help our pupils learn where plants come from, how to care for them, and how small actions can make a big difference to our environment.
“We can’t wait to see the results blooming in the spring.”
