Partnership with Warrington company brightens local school's grounds

14 October 2009

The Mersey Forest has worked in partnership with Warrington-based electrical company Premium Appliance Brands to transform a local school's grounds for the benefit of pupils and the environment alike.

 

The company, based in Centre Park near Bank Quay station, funded the project at St.Benedict's RC Primary School to mark the start of their 'green' drive to become the first carbon neutral white goods company in the UK.

 

Healthy garden

The project was coordinated by The Mersey Forest, and saw the creation of a healthy garden for the school, featuring raised flowerbeds and paths, a wildflower meadow area and sensory plants of lavender, rosemary and thyme.

 

Cllr Mike Biggin, Warrington Borough Council's member for The Mersey Forest, was also involved in the project, visiting the school to help pupils plant a selection of fruit trees to complete the school's green makeover.
