Our school recently hosted a permablitz, bringing the community together to create a new food/plant-growing space for pupils. This garden will serve as a living classroom, helping children learn about growing food/plant and supporting wildlife such as birds, bees and other pollinators.
During the day, participants built raised beds, installed a wormery and a leaf mould bin, and created a play planting bench for younger pupils. The structures were also decorated with paint and stencils, adding a creative touch to the space.
The project is based on a permaculture design developed through the Permablitz London Permaculture Design Certificate course in 2025.
We would like to warmly Apolline for the organisation of the entire day, Mrs Crawford, our CP teacher who is supporting gardening activities with CP students and the APC (Parents’ Association) for their generous financial support, which made this project possible.
This inspiring day has laid the foundations for a sustainable garden that the whole school community will enjoy!
