Young gardeners from a Bordon school have been getting their hands dirty in the community polytunnel following its move across town.

Whitehill Town Council has moved the tunnel to the Saville Crescent allotment site as the facility’s previous home on Enterprise Park will soon be redeveloped.

The UK government also played a part as it funded the ‘Grow Up’ grant that East Hampshire District Council awarded to WTC to make the relocation possible.

Work had to be completed by the end of March with a new concrete base, fencing and polythene cover all required.

But the deadline was met and Weyford School pupils helped WTC to celebrate on March 28 by decorating their own plant pots and taking home planted sunflower seeds.
