Children in Bolton are to learn more about growing produce in vegetable plots and greenhouses following the establishment of a new school garden, This is Lancashire reports.
Flowers and vegetables will be grown by the children in the school yard of Castle Hill Primary School after teachers decided it was in need of a makeover.
