Boost for Portslade school’s gardening club

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School was delighted to be given compost, posts and seeds in a donation from a Sussex charity.

The Budding Foundation works to support young people across the county and founder Clive Gravett said he’s keen to hear how the children get on with their gardening activities.

Rosy Lloyd joined some children from the school on a visit to nearby Maryberry Garden Centre to collect the donation.

The branch manager at the family-run store in the Old Shoreham Road said he was pleased to be supporting a local community project and hoped the children would keep in touch as their discovered more about growing plants.
