Redrow East Midlands, which is currently building at Newton Garden Village in Newton, has tasked pupils from Carnarvon Pre-School to grow their own vegetables after donating gardening equipment.
Keen to ensure the children have just the thicket to create their vegetable patches, Redrow East Midlands donated gardening gloves, soil, vegetable seeds, and a vegetable trug for their produce to grow in.
With their brand-new equipment delivered, children from Carnarvon Pre-School spent no time mossing around, and quickly got to work setting up a new gardening club for green-fingered pupils.
Kelly Higham, Manager at Carnarvon Pre-School, said: “Summer is in full bloom at Carnarvon Pre-School thanks to Redrow East Midlands’ generous donation. The children have loved putting their gardening gloves on and keep eagerly tending to their vegetables each morning. We’re looking forward to putting our home-grown vegetables to good use in a few months’ time and I know pupils can’t wait to sample our produce.”
Ryan O’Sullivan, Sales Director at Redrow East Midlands, said: “Here at Redrow East Midlands, we’re always looking for new ways to encourage thriving communities – not just at the developments we build, but in our local communities too.
“We all remember marvelling at seeing something grow for the first time when we were children, and so we wanted to build on this curiosity by nurturing a passion for growing produce among Nottingham youngsters. “We look forward to seeing Carnarvon Pre-School’s new vegetable patch and their team of mini gardeners putting our donation to good use. We’re sure the vegetables will look absolutely radishing in a few weeks’ time and look forward to returning to the pre-school for an all-important taste test.”
