The cross pollination beds are in the field by the orchard and involved a lot of work to prepare the area for building the beds.

The students have designed, built and planted the raised beds for the cross pollination project. The fantastic staff make learning motivating, interactive, challenging and fun, whilst ensuring that the children and young people feel safe, valued and self confident.
