Gartly School Wildlife Garden

Managed by:

Gartly Parent Partnership

Project Description

The project is to create a wildlife garden for the local Gartly primary school and the wider community which will bring a range of benefits including educational, relaxation, increased biodiversity and a meeting place within the community. 

Works to be undertaken include decking area, seated relaxation areas, a small meadow, a posted nature trail, hedging, planting and a gated entrance and exit to the pond area.  Parents are working in partnership with the school to develop opportunities for the children to learn about the natural environment.  The area can be used as an outdoor classroom

The students, staff and parents of Gartly School would like to thank the Aberdeenshire LEADER Programme for their generous support of our project.  The £4,500 of funding provided by LEADER, together with other funding we have sourced, will enable us to build a wildlife garden and outdoor classroom in the grounds of Gartly School.  The garden will be a place of learning, fun and relaxation for the school and local community and sees the fruition of a long held dream.  Thank you for making those dreams come true.
