Weekly gardening activities at The Hub, Alexandra Park with a group of students from Blue Coat School have restarted, delivered by Northern Lily, a local Community Interest Company.
During these regular horticulture sessions, which are commissioned by Get Oldham Growing, the students will gain skills and knowledge to complete an AQA award.
The ongoing project aims to engage young people to learn practical gardening skills and knowledge, and physically be involved in growing, caring for and harvesting from the fruit and vegetable plants.
The young people have really enjoyed the sessions. So far, they’ve been busy getting to know each other, learning about tool safety, planting onion sets, transplanting broad beans, weeding and mulching growing beds, soil sieving and documenting their learning in workbooks.
