McLaren High School 'Plums' for New Orchard

As part of their on‐going Curriculum Challenge 20 S1 pupils were responsible for planting 12 fruit trees within the school grounds. It has been a long term plan to extend the facilities within the school grounds and we were fortunate to receive a grant from Central Scotland’s Green Network (CSGN). 

The trees: plum, three varieties of apples and a cherry should provide educational opportunities in future years….and hopefully FRUIT.

Thanks go to all the staff that supported this venture, CSGN for the generous grant, Alastair Seaman of Grounds for Learning and mainly to S1 pupils for their efforts.
