Over £700 was raised at the recent coffee morning at the Stewarts hall, in aid of the Gordon Primary allotments! The money will go towards developing the new allotments on the school grounds. The new allotments were designed by Heather and Brogan in Pp6. The design consists of raised beds, along with fruit trees and bushes, surrounded by a fence.

An enthusiastic group of pupils, parents and staff have formed an Allotment group who are meeting on Mondays after school to develop the allotments. Their first task is to design and plant up the sensory garden. This consists of 5 raised beds containing plants to stimulate the five senses; taste, small, touch. hearing and appearance. Already the beds are planted with chives, marigolds, sweet peas and broccoli, to name but a few.
