Netherlee Primary School

Throughout lockdown pupils at Netherlee began to appreciate gardens and outdoor spaces more than ever.  Their Pocket Garden is built around the things that they love most in their own gardens, school grounds and local area.

This garden attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies through it's colourful flowers, scented herbs and providing shelter. Everything in the garden is re-used and locally sourced. 

The children say 'It is a hopeful place for our creepy crawly friends...'
