creating communities to be proud of
local schoolchildren ensure resident garden is
blooming marvellous
Green-fingered pupils of Great Coates Primary school have transformed the garden of one of our sheltered housing schemes in time for this years’ Grimsby In Bloom competition.
Thanks to £500 of funding from Inspiring Communities, the team of pupils joined residents of Stratford House for a morning of planting and creating hanging baskets, floral displays and colourful window boxes.
The project brought an extra helping of community spirit as well as colour to the neighbourhood, much to the delight of the residents.
Stratford House tenant Maggie Jacklin said: “It was a wonderful morning, the children have done a marvellous job”
Shoreline Extra Care support officer Julie Hammond said: “The visit by the children has been wonderful. They all arrived with a smile on their face, carrying boxes of plants, happy and eager to help the residents. They are a credit to their parents and school.
“We’ve been working closely with the school to bring the two communities together and lots of laughter could be heard from both the children and residents.”
