8 of us met Emma at Forest School to help her clear an area of all brambles, grasses, roots and leaves so that it can be turned into a wildflower meadow.

John completed his 50th good deed so give him a big cheer too!

We wowed Emma with our extensive wildflower growing knowledge from all of our tasks helping the St Nicks meadowkeepers project too.

After the area was cleared with rakes, spades and a very broken fork, Emma got out the hot chocolate - a big treat on a cold day!

Millthorpe School
We are a Secondary School in York.

I am a Teaching Assistant working in the Special Educational Needs Department...we have a yarden area and mini allotment that I am developing for our students who love gardening and use horticulture as a way of regulating themselves. We have many students with Autism and ADHD and this space is vital to them.
