Arranged and sponsored by Martin Alderton and his partner Karen Tunnicliffe, who run Arundel Historic Tours, the project has seen packs of seeds distributed to five schools, as well as Guides and Scout groups. The children have been given instructions on planting and information about pollinators to explain why it is important to the town and the environment.
