Gift makes garden grow


A NEWCASTLE school has had a Groundforce style garden make-over, thanks to a donation from employees at Procter & Gamble.


St Lawrence's Primary School received a donation of pounds 1,000 following a fundraising push at P&G's Newcastle Innovation Centre, in Longbenton.

The money has been used to transform a patch of derelict land adjacent to the school into a small garden with storage units to house the school's wheelbarrows, gardening tools and outdoor play equipment. Lynda Edwards, a reception class teacher at the school, said: "We are absolutely delighted the donation from P&G has allowed us to transform the patch of land into a useful storage unit."
