Pupils from the Garden Class were delighted to be joined by students from 6th class today on the church green to plant some lovely flowers and plants in a special sensory section on the Church Green.

They planted rosemary, sage, lavender, heather, a scented yellow rose, a  large Poppy and a variety of carnations.
