Allison Homes donates gardening supplies to Corby Glen Community Primary School

A housebuilder has helped schoolchildren get in the spirit of National Children’s Gardening Week.

Allison Homes donated wildflower seed packets and children’s gardening tools to Corby Glen Community Primary School.

Each school received 50 wildflower seed packets and two gardening tool kits to encourage the pupils to learn new skills and enjoy spending time in the school gardens.

Natalie Willcock, headteacher at Corby Glen Community Primary School, said: “National Children’s Gardening Week is a fantastic way for us to inspire a love of gardening among our pupils.

“The seed packets and tools from Allison Homes have come at a perfect time as we have just started our very own gardening club, so this will be a brilliant project for the children.”

Corby Glen Community Primary School is located near Allison Homes ‘The Orchards’ Development.

Mallory Matthew, sales manager at Allison Homes Central, said: “This is a wonderful event, encouraging children to get outside and hopefully discover a new hobby. We are delighted to have made these donations to help pupils grow their very own wildflower gardens, and can’t wait to see the finished results.”

National Children’s Gardening Week runs from Saturday, May 27 until Sunday, June 4.
