Green is the word as Rotherham school's garden grows
Keen young gardeners at a Rotherham school have a new green area to develop as their own, thanks to Lottery funds.
Frames built with help from the local Wildlife Trust will allow Listerdale Primary pupils to grow, harvest and enjoy their own fruit and vegetables.
As another boost, the school will receive bushes and plants as reward for achieving level three in the RHS campaign for school gardening. Many fruit bushes are already in place.

Teacher Mrs Newsome said: “The school is really excited about its new venture.”
