GREEN-fingered pupils at a primary school near Rugby are being encouraged to create a wildflower garden after they were gifted dozens of ‘seed bombs’.
Over 30 seed bombs – small house-shaped clusters of growing medium which contain wildflower seeds – have been donated to Knightlow CofE Primary School by housebuilder Taylor Wimpey West Midlands, to help youngsters create a new nature area.
Cathy Amos-Simpson, Outdoor Learning Lead at Knightlow C of E Primary School, said: “We are so grateful to Taylor Wimpey West Midlands for donating these seed houses.
“The children were really pleased with them. Planting these will help us towards gaining our Green Trees Silver Award.
“Our Eco-Ambassadors, Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils are looking forward to seeing a lovely wildflower garden flourish, and spotting the insects and creatures that will hopefully visit and benefit from our new nature area.”
Ben Walker, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey West Midlands, said: “Gardening provides so many positives in a person’s life, including nurturing a love of nature, so we wanted to support pupils at Knightlow Cof E Primary School by encouraging them to create their own wildflower garden through this donation.
