Old Railway Line Garden Centre donates plants to local primary schools

The Old Railway Line Garden Centre, located in Three Cocks between Brecon and Hay-on-Wye, has donated a range of plants, seeds, seed potatoes and compost to the five local cluster primary schools.

Operations director Katie Eckley said: “We are passionate about inspiring the next generation of gardeners. We love to collaborate with local schools and help with projects whenever possible.

“Each school received £100 worth of gardening goodies which will set them up for growing success this season. Matthew and Mike had an enjoyable morning out in the van delivering the goods and meeting the children at each school.”

Retail and events manager Matthew Lewis added: “It was great fun delivering a bundle of plants and gardening materials to our local primary schools. All the pupils were so excited about the opportunity to grow their own plants and vegetables at school. Gardening is a great activity to get children outdoors, to enjoy the fresh air whilst learning about growing plants and where their food comes from.”
