Some of our Gardening Club children had the pleasure of visiting the college this week to meet the talented students and fabulous staff who designed and built our amazing compost tumbler and wow, it’s fantastic! They’ve gone above and beyond to create something that’s not only practical but impressively engineered. Very creatively, many of the parts were recycled, making it a brilliant example of sustainable design in action! It’s far beyond what we ever expected! The tumbler will be well used, not just by us, but also by our neighbours at Trawden in Bloom to make compost to help fill the planters around the village. We’re so grateful for all the hard work, passion, and skill that went into this project. Thank you again for making it happen!
