Learners from the Woodville Centre have joined forces with pupils from Riddlesden St Mary's CE Primary to give the school grounds a special garden makeover.

The trainees and pupils planted seeds donated by the Woodville Centre, to enlarge a wild flower meadow at the school.

The Woodville Centre trainees have also offered to build new garden furniture, including benches and picnic tables, to help enhance the environment of the school.

Riddlesden St Mary's is currently improving its spacious grounds for pupils and the local community to enjoy.

An orienteering trail has been created and there are plans to build wheelchair-friendly footpaths and an 'enchanted garden' including a maze and sweet smelling herbs and flowerbeds.

Martin Holland, supervisor at the Woodville Centre, said: "It is a pleasure to work on these garden projects with Riddlesden St Mary's. I am sure the school children will be pleased with the end results when the seeds grow."

Keith Davies, deputy head at the school, said: "We are delighted that the Woodville Centre trainees are working with us on this project. The children love to grow plants and will enjoy helping plant the seeds in the wildflower meadow.

"We are keen to have the local community involved in the life of the school as much as possible and I am sure this partnership between us and the Woodville Centre will benefit everyone."

Councillor Simon Cooke, executive member for corporate and regeneration, said: "The Woodville trainees make a real contribution to brightening up buildings and open spaces in the town and I am delighted that they are working closely with another local school."
