Cultivating a green friendship

A horticultural business in Whixley is continuing its work alongside Kirk Hammerton School and Nursery School, to help educate pupils about horticulture.

Johnsons of Whixley, one of the Europe’s leading horticultural suppliers to the commercial sector, has donated hedging plants for use around the nursery and supplied trees for National Tree Planting day.

And children have also learnt about the life cycle of vegetables, from seed to harvest, through to discovering tasty recipes for the vegetables they have grown.
