Good afternoon Victoria and thanks for getting in touch with us about your gardening plans for Arnage school with your ECO group. I would be delighted to give you some seeds towards your project, it’s the perfect time to start propagating to have ready in time for spring and summer. I will also be able to include a voucher to use in store towards other items for your project. All that we would ask is that you let us know how you’re getting on and send us pics of your project.
We don’t have a schools programme as such, but Becca from our team in Mintlaw is available if you want to pop in for any advice. Also as ambassadors for Cultivation Street, I would recommend also having a look at their website for inspiration and resources for your project. You can also register and enter their annual competition for school and community garden projects, visit their website at: https://cultivationstreet.com
If you can confirm the postal address for the school, I’ll have these items posted to you asap.
Kind regards
Siobhan MacBean, Simpsons, Mintlaw
