Since the beginning of the school year Miss Alger and the #BAAllotment Enrichment Clubs students have been transforming part of the quad into a thriving allotment. The students have worked extremely hard to enhance the ecosystems around the plot, develop future plans for expansion and growth alongside producing fruit and vegetables. They are also in the process of working towards their Level 2 award. "The Gardening Club is great. We have planted seeds to grow vegetables and plants. I would recommend this to anyone." Alex.J “I think gardening is a really fun and I would definitely recommend it. We’ve added a lot of features to our garden to attract wildlife including a pond and bird feeders.” Freya.C “We really enjoy the Allotment Club.
