Worcestershire Schools to receive free Bee Kits worth £100

Worcestershire based Forest Garden is offering 50 schools the chance to receive a FREE Bee Friendly Planting Kit worth over £100.

Delivered for free, the kits which consist of two Junior raised beds, compost and bee-friendly seeds will give the schools everything that they need to create a special garden to attract bees – no extensive grounds or gardens are required. What’s more, a specially created fact file for teachers to work with will have the industrious students finding out more about bees and creating a bee haven in no time.

“As a sustainable British company whose roots are literally part of the UK’s ecosystem, we feel deeply connected to the environment and to the wildlife that is essential for the health and wellbeing of the forests. The majority of Forest Garden products are made using timber that is grown and felled in Scotland and brought to Worcestershire to be made into gorgeous garden items.

“This is just one way for us to be able to give something back to the local community and to also be able to support the bees that have been having a bit of a hard time lately. If we were to encourage all of the school children in the region to grow plants that are full of nectar and pollen whilst connecting their schools, think about what an incredible superhighway that could be for the local bees, ensuring that they have what they need to sustain them but also ensuring that our children grow up loving and nurturing such an important part of our world.”

To be in with a chance to receive a FREE Bee Friendly Planting Kit, schools should only apply if they are in the Worcestershire area. Email [email protected] for full details and to take part.
