We are proud to share that we have achieved both Level 1 and Level 2 of the RHS Campaign for School Gardening Awards for our work renovating Benfieldside Community Garden! We have been working to develop our knowledge of gardening, make the garden more accessible, learn new skills and work together to improve our wellbeing.
