Good seed for the day – Barrington & Ely get help as local school children grow their own vegetables

We're celebrating Good to Grow Day by encouraging school children to grow their own produce with a green-fingered donation.

Barrington neighbours may have found they’re getting a little more peas and quiet recently after pupils from Meldreth Primary School have been busy growing their own produce thanks to our donations.

Also, Ely neighbours have found the same as pupils from Ely St Mary’s Church of England School have been also been busy growing their own produce too! 

Redrow South Midlands, which is currently building at All Saints Gardens on Haslingfield Road, is celebrating Good to Grow Day, by calling on the help of Barrington’s youngsters. To help make the town a more sustainable place to live, the housebuilder tasked pupils from Meldreth Primary School to grow their own vegetables after donating gardening equipment.

To ensure the children have just the thicket to create their vegetable patches, Redrow South Midlands donated gardening gloves, soil, vegetable seeds, and a garden trug for their produce to grow in.

With their brand-new equipment delivered, pupils from Meldreth Primary School spent no time mossing around, and quickly got to work setting up a new ‘gardening club’ for green-fingered pupils.

Sasha Howard, Headteacher at Meldreth Primary School, said: “Spring is in full bloom at Meldreth Primary School thanks to Redrow South 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.”

We are also currently building at King’s Meadow on Kings Avenue, is celebrating Good to Grow Day, by calling on the help of Ely’s youngsters. We have tasked pupils from Ely St Mary’s Church of England School to grow their own vegetables after donating gardening equipment.

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.” 

Andrew Newman, Head of Sales at Redrow South Midlands, said: “Here at Redrow South 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.

Good to Grow Day offered the perfect opportunity to reach out to local primary schools and task them with the challenge of growing their own vegetables. 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 Barrington youngsters.

“We look forward to seeing Meldreth Primary School andf Ely St Mary’s Church of England 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.”
