Corby Glen Community Primary School, William Hildyard CofE Primary School, Kirton Lindsey Primary School, and Stanford Junior and Infant School each received £100 National Gardening vouchers and a selection of seeds, including forget-me-nots, mixed summer flowers and a butterfly and bee friendly mixture.
Natalie Willcock, Headteacher at Corby Glen Community Primary School, said: “We are thrilled to have received this donation from Allison Homes. The children can’t wait to start planting the seeds that they’ve received, and we’re looking forward to purchasing new equipment and resources to encourage our pupils to get involved with gardening.
“It’s important to us that our pupils receive a balanced and well-rounded education. National Children’s Gardening Week is one more way that our pupils can learn something new, and have some fun at the same time.”
Samantha Hart, Sales and Marketing Director at Allison Homes, said: “It was important to us at Allison Homes to get involved with National Children’s Gardening Week, and do something to help pupils in the local community have a bit of fun this week, and maybe spark a passion for gardening.
“At Allison Homes, we strive to support the communities amongst which we build wherever possible, and are delighted to have made these donations.”
