BIG-HEARTED bosses at a recycling company have helped a garden club take root at a Bournemouth school. Eco Sustainable Solutions has donated two tonnes of its Super Soil product to Winton Primary School.

The soil is to be used by reception pupils in the school’s garden club to grow flowers and vegetables.

It was presented to teaching assistant Anna Weston, the school’s Green Coordinator, by Charlotte Haswell, Eco’s Business Account Handler.

Charlotte said: “Schools and community groups are often in touch with us and, wherever possible, we will do our best to assist.

“It’s great that we’re able to play our part in encouraging young children to become the gardeners of the future.”

Anna Weston praised Eco’s generosity adding: “Thanks to this donation, we can deliver our outdoor education across the school and hopefully have a bumper vegetable harvest before the summer holidays!”

Update:

We received some great, hand crafted cards from pupils at Winton Primary School as a thank you for our donation.

The school’s garden club is going well and they are beginning to harvest their first crops!

Well done to the pupils and staff, keep up the good work.
