Allison Homes East helps primary school garden in Somersham bloom with donation of seeds and tools

In our East region, we are encouraging a love of gardening amongst pupils of Somersham Primary School, by donating seed packets and tools for National Children’s Gardening Week (Saturday 24^th May to Sunday 1^st June).

National Children’s Gardening Week takes place annually at the end of May and aims to inspire children to get active in their gardens at school and home, and enjoy seeing their plants thrive during the warmer weather.

To celebrate the joys that gardening brings, our East team has donated 50 wildflower seed packets and two gardening tool kits, to help the pupils to learn new skills. We are also donating a £50 B&Q voucher, allowing the school to purchase additional gardening supplies.

Jonathan Clarke, Headteacher at Somersham Primary School, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Allison Homes East for their generous donation of seeds and gardening tools. Their support gives our pupils the chance to get hands-on in our school garden, where they can learn about nature, teamwork and responsibility in a truly engaging way. Gardening brings so many benefits – it boosts wellbeing, encourages healthy habits, and inspires curiosity about the world around us. At Somersham Primary School and across Meridian Trust, we place great value on ‘learning outside the classroom’, and experiences like this really bring that ethos to life.”

Somersham Primary School is situated just one mile away from our upcoming Cranbrook Grange development, which will consist of two, three and four bedroom high-quality homes surrounded by Cambridgeshire countryside.

Kelly Toms, Sales and Marketing Director at Allison Homes East, said: “National Children’s Gardening Week is a fantastic campaign, and we are delighted to have supported its mission by donating to Somersham Primary School. We hope the pupils have a wonderful time planting in their school’s garden and that they discover a new hobby along the way.

“We’re looking forward to further supporting Somersham Primary School and to be introducing ourselves to the wider community as our Cranbrook Grange development progresses.”
