THESE green-fingered Gourock children are digging deep in their school garden.

Youngsters from Moorfoot Primary have been busy planting willow trees and an arch, plus clearing out beds in the vegetable patches.

The garden has been slowly transformed over the last three years and is now bigger and better than ever.

A ‘groundforce team’ of rangers from Cornalees pitched in to help, as well as bank volunteers and parents.

Undergrowth was removed from the former nursery garden, stones put down and vegetable beds established.

Yvonne Paterson, primary four class teacher, said: “We’ve got a seating area with recycle tyres and a willow arch and we’ve got a gardening club.

“Parents have been helping out as well.

“Each class has its own vegetable patch — it encourages them to grow their own food and once the vegetables are grown we’ve made soup with them.

“It gets the children out in the fresh air. They love going out.”
