The Plans....

Just in case some of you haven't seen the plans for the allotment in the windows of the school here they are! The allotment will be situated behind the lock ups and to the left of the port cabins. The plans are an amalgamation of the two winning entries in the design an allotment competition which we held earlier in the year.
The circular structure in the middle is a canopy/sheltered outdoor classroom area.
The rectangular segments around it are the raised beds, that the children are in the process of making. The theory behind the design is that it represents time -12 months of the year! The missing bed at the top will be a walkway into the allotment and this will be made into a virtual bed/frieze tiled floor with the children's artwork.
There will be a very shallow pond area - bottom left (hopefully) and a fruit tree area - bottom right. A sculpture made by the children will feature- bottom centre.
A tastefully decorated potting shed, with a sedum roof and patio, compost bins and water butts -top left. At the top right hand side we are hoping in time to build a green house from recycled plastic bottles or even better still have a geodome!

Thank you for supporting us by helping to raise all that money in the Welly Walk. Hopefully we can really get a head start with completing this project and more importantly use this fantastic resource as part of the childrens education.
