Worcester neighbours may have found they’re getting a little more peas and quiet recently after pupils from Honeywell Primary School have been busy growing their own produce thanks to a local housebuilder.
Redrow Midlands, which is currently building at Kensington Gate, on Bromyard Road, tasked pupils from Honeywell Primary 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 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 Honeywell Primary School spent no time mossing around, and quickly got to work setting up a new ‘gardening club’ for green-fingered pupils.
Mr Morley, Headteacher at Honeywell Primary School, said: “Summer is in full swing at Honeywell Primary School thanks to Redrow 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.”
Similarly, Stratford-upon-Avon neighbours may also have found they’re getting a little more peas and quiet recently after pupils from Quinton Primary School have been busy growing their own produce thanks to a local housebuilder.
Redrow Midlands, which is currently building at Poets Grange, on Station Road, tasked pupils from Quinton Primary School to grow their own vegetables after donating gardening equipment.
“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 Worcester youngsters.
“We look forward to seeing Honeywell Primary School & Quinton Primary 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 school for an all-important taste test.”
Redrow is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and has set ambitious interim targets for both its direct and indirect emissions to help limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Kensington Gate is located in a peaceful, residential area, just minutes away from the beautiful city of Worcester. Surrounded by open green spaces, with a good selection of schools and superb transport links, this development promises to be popular with homebuyers.
Located five miles south of the historic Stratford-upon-Avon, Poets Grange is part of the wider Meon Vale scheme which will feature a leisure hub, sports pitches and plenty of public open space once complete.
