And that’s a wrap for the Green Fingers class of 26 as group 2 take their veg home. Good luck next year to the year 6s moving up into secondary school.

These photos are of a runner bean and a sunflower, a tiny tomato and a tiny crystal lemon cucumber plant that Eli lovingly looked after – they’re looking very healthy indeed!

Ten Year Celebration

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to celebrate 10 years of Higher Ground with us, the weather was gorgeous, everyone got stuck into crown making and leatherwork and the snail race was nail biting stuff!
