Children from Warwick Nursery School have been busy growing their own produce thanks to a local housebuilder.

Redrow Midlands, which is currently building at Midsummer Meadow, on Europa Way, tasked children from Warwick Nursery School to grow their own vegetables after donating gardening equipment.

Keen to ensure the children have just the thicket to create their vegetable patches, Redrow Midlands donated gardening gloves, soil, vegetable seeds, and a vegetable trug to grow their produce in.

With their brand-new equipment delivered, children from Warwick Nursery School spent no time mossing around, and quickly got to work planting and growing.

Cathy Bignold, Headteacher at Warwick Nursery School, said: "We are very grateful here at Warwick Nursery School for Redrow Midlands' generous donation which has enabled us to add to our already established gardening beds.

"We've been planting seeds in our Forest School sessions and the children have loved getting their gardening gloves on and watching the seeds grow. We're looking forward to tasting our home-grown vegetables and using them in cooking activities!"

Elaine Cartwright, sales director at Redrow Midlands, said: "Here at Redrow Midlands, we're always looking for new ways to encourage thriving communities – not just at the developments we build, but in our local communities too. 

"We all remember marvelling at seeing something grow for the first time when we were children, and so we wanted to build on this curiosity by nurturing a passion for growing produce among Warwick youngsters.

"We look forward to seeing Warwick Nursery School's new vegetable patch and their team of mini gardeners putting our donation to good use. We're sure the vegetables will look absolutely radishing in a few weeks' time and look forward to returning to the school for an all-important taste test."

Midsummer Meadow offers a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as two, three and four-bedroom homes.
