A GARDEN centre has generously donated resources to a school in Ludgershall to help develop children's learning.
Rosebourne and Hillier Garden Centre has donated the resources to Wellington Eagles Primary Academy.
Nursery teacher Lyanne Morrison approached the garden centre after it rebranded into the Hillier Garden Centre family. The centre was having a clear out of various materials and kindly donated the items to the school.
The children from the Nest Nursery have been getting their hands dirty and were eager to start learning with Ms Morrison. The youngsters have been experimenting with the donations and have so far had elaborate picnics, as well as making made sturdy car runs with guttering.
The older children at Wellington Eagles will be soon potting flowers to go around the school and outside playgrounds, embracing their wonder of nature with their eco leader Rachel Gage.

These will help in creating an outside learning environment for the children and will be beneficial for all of the children at Wellington Eagles.
Ms Morrison said: “We are extremely grateful for the kind donation from the garden centre. I knew that the resources would be useful to engage my curious learners, it can also trigger a hobby or enjoyment that was something they had never experienced before. Learning how to pot can be passed on into a love for growing their own fruit or vegetables or creating their own beautiful flowerbeds at home. We hope to make the school greener as well as help to keep the children active and explore their curious minds.”
