Tilia Homes donation helps young gardeners bloom

Pupils at Deer Park Primary School in Wingerworth have been given a helping hand from Tilia Homes. The housebuilder behind The Avenue development in the village.

The school’s Green Gang club received some fruit trees, compost and a set of gardening tools, including spades and trowels.

Vicky Weston-Taylor, teacher assistant and Green Gang leader at Deer Park Primary School said: “We are thrilled with this kind donation from Tilia Homes. We really value our outdoor spaces at Deer Park, which is why we set up our after-school gardening club, and the addition of this new equipment is a great way to get the children more involved in gardening and emphasise to them the importance of spending time outdoors. The equipment will help provide our children with the ability to learn new skills, have fun and develop self-confidence, and engage them with the school gardens to create a more attractive environment for everyone to enjoy.”

Lizzie Burda, regional sales and marketing director for Tilia Homes Central said: “At Tilia, we aim to create beautiful spaces not only on our own developments, but also supporting the local community to do the same. More now than ever, gardens play an important role in our sense of wellbeing and help us to get outdoors and take in some fresh air. We hope this donation of gardening equipment and trees will help encourage our local younger generation to get involved and develop a passion for gardening. We’re delighted to be able to support Deer Park Primary School and hope the children enjoy using the new equipment.”
