Karen Brown, Business Manager,
Haveley Hey Primary School
I have enjoyed regular contact
from the Sow the City team -
invaluable advice, and enthusiasm
for the project.
Sow the City transformed an
unused area of Haveley Hey
Primary School into a wildlife
garden with a pond and
raised beds. Now newts,
frogs and damselflies visit
the garden – a real life
classroom for the students
to discover and learn in.
We worked in consultation with staff, parents and
students at Haveley Hey Primary School to transform an
unused area of school grounds into an allotment,
orchard, pond, paths and wildlife garden.
The garden was designed as a space for children to
learn about growing fruit and vegetables and to experience
wildlife.
The site was landscaped with gentle slopes, woodchip
paths and a large wildlife pond with native planting. All
raised beds were built with sustainably managed timber
and recycled materials. A storyteller’s chair and benches
were provided by a local green wood worker.
The school has successfully grown and harvested a
variety of fruit and vegetables and use the garden for
many curriculum based activities.
