Children at Starbeck school plant new community garden
Children at Springwater School in Starbeck have been busy planting fruit trees, edible herbs and wildflowers in a new community garden.
The special needs school on Starbeck High Street offers a modified curriculum for young people aged two to 19 with special needs.
The community garden was the brainchild of Life Destiny Church and Starbeck Community Group, which wanted to collaborate on a new green space in Starbeck where produce can be enjoyed by the local community.
The herbs and fruit trees that were planted will be used in the school's curriculum cooking sessions. Food will also be donated to the food bank that takes place at the church.
Around 80 students spent a day working on the area last week along with Andrew Hart from Starbeck Community Group and Jeremy Fennings from the church.
