Cabbage patch kids
Published Date:
26 July 2008
A large vegetable patch has been created for children at a Northampton primary school thanks to the work of a team of volunteers from Barclaycard.
The group of 25 Barclaycard employees, based in Brackmills, went to Briar Hill Primary School on Tuesday and built nine new raised vegetable beds which will allow each class to actively participate in gardening.
A Barclaycard spokeswoman said: "It is great we are encouraged to get out in the community doing projects every year and we wanted to help a local cause.
"We hope the new vegetable patches will encourage the children to get out and grow their own potatoes and carrots and understand more about where they come from."
The Barclaycard team received donations and help from companies including Thomas Haulage Ltd, Gardners Bakery, Sita Ltd, Douglas Landscapes, Graeme and Paul of Safe-Edge Scaffolding Ltd and Salcey Landscapes.
