GREEN-FINGERED pupils at Kenilworth’s Priors Field Primary School have struck gold.
The Kenilworth in Bloom ‘Gold’ certificate and the Dave Shilton Cup were presented to young members of the school’s gardening club by town mayor Alan Chalmers and KiB’s schools co-ordinator Caroline Barker.
The school prides itself on teaching the importance of gardening using ‘eco’ sustainable methods.
There is an ‘eco’ club and a gardening club, and the school also has a sensory garden, various tubs and beds for growing flowers and vegetables. Rain water is also collected from roofs and used on the gardens.
And pupils are made aware of the problems of plastic waste not only here, but also in other countries, and how new ideas can transform it into useful products.
