Green-fingered Blantyre kids help spruce up playground
Jun 5 2008 by Graham Fraser, Hamilton Advertiser
PUPILS at St Joseph’s Primary School in Blantyre recently enjoyed a day of planting.
Last year, Community Links put in a bid on behalf of the school to South Lanarkshire Council’s Pride of Place team for money to spent on the school’s playground.
The school were successful and subsequently received a £1000 grant.
The school eventually decided to purchase five bench and table sets, a bench and six planters. In recent weeks, the children of St Joseph’s then held a planting day.
Everyone got involved to make this event a success.
The senior children of the school wrote letters to local businesses asking them for donations of plants or planting equipment, with Asda donating some items.
The days were a huge success with every child, including the nursery children, getting a chance to put in some plants and try out their new equipment.
