Students create vegetable patch with Eco’s help

A BIG-HEARTED Christchurch company is helping students at Twynham School turn an overgrown old pond into a vegetable patch.

Eco Sustainable Solutions has donated four tonnes of its Super Soil product to the Sopers Lane school.

It is being used by Year 10 students who are undertaking the gardening project as part of their ASDAN Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE) qualification.

Maxine Barry, Twynham School’s Speech and Language-based Manager, said: “Eco has been absolutely fantastic and we’re very grateful. Nothing has been too much trouble for the company.

“The garden project teaches our speech and language-based students the benefits of working together as a team as well as being environmentally aware. They are working incredibly hard.”

Justin Dampney, Eco’s Business Development Manager, said: “We’re delighted to be lending a helping hand to such a worthwhile scheme.”
