What's been happening at Merrylee Primary? .... After a successful application for 'Let's Grow Glasgow' funding from Glasgow City Council, we achieved new upgrades to the school's green space during the spring term :
- New planters with herb plants, accessible to all school pupils and the local community 🪴🌱👪
- A resting bench for parents, carers and local residents 🪑👩🦱👩🦰🧕👨🦳
- Compost and soil to top up our garden planters ready for pupils to grow food plants 👩🌾🍅🎃🥕
- Seeds for all classes which they grew in the poly tunnel then planted into the garden planters 🌱🪴
- New turf for the trim trail, making it safer to access the garden and more fun to play on 🏃♂️
We are so grateful to parents & carers, local residents, OLA football club parents, Virgin Money corporate volunteers, pupils, school staff and PS Stewart Gardens for volunteering their time and labour.
Merrylee Green Fingers love our school's urban green spaces. The delight of the pupils working in the garden at all stages of the growing cycle aligns with school outdoor learning priorities, and local and national council food growing initiatives.
