STAFF and children at Brierley Hill Primary School have celebrated the opening of their new centenary garden.
The new area, funded by Brierley Hill Rotary Club, has been created on a piece of derelict land to mark the school’s milestone birthday and to give pupils chance to learn gardening skills.
Headteacher Teresa Potter said: “Lots of our children live in the blocks of flats around school and many of them do not have access to gardens and the opportunity to plant and grow.
“We decided this was an important life skill that the children should have experience of so decided to embark upon creating our own garden.
“The children from every year group drew up their own plans for the garden and our school council decided upon a finished design.”
Created by Stourbridge garden design company The Fifth Room, the new garden was officially unveiled to pupils and parents during an open morning on October 23.
