Ash Hill School, High Wycombe
January 2025
This year, thanks to the generosity of Marsh & Micklefield big local we are working with Ash Hill School.
At Ash Hill we have work to do to renovate their growing space, replacing the timber edges of the beds to make them safe for the children to use. ​
Community Volunteering Day
April 2025
On the 10th and 11th April we spent a couple of days with staff and volunteers improving the school's growing space ready for lessons to begin in May.
​
We repaired growing beds, weeded and put down manure and planted flowers to attract pollinators. It is great to see the space transforming.
First School session
May 2025
After working with volunteers to repair the raised beds, we held our first school session in May. It was fantastic to see the children enjoying their growing space again.
Together we planted broccoli, cabbage and kohlrabi, with some geraniums, nasturtium, calendula and marigold to help ward off slugs and snails and to attract the aphids away from the seedlings.
