We installed the oversize, double length raised bed at Oakfield Primary School today that we planned with the parents, staff and children earlier in May. Working with families directly in their own homes as well as via their children at school are vital elements to the Growing Spaces project. We also managed to bury our brand new, red spirit level underneath the two tonnes of soil/compost mix so we’re going to be more careful next time – it should make for an interesting Time Team dig of the future!
