New polytunnel at Lochgoil Primary School
Proposal code: CONSUL-2025-05-106
To support the build of a new polytunnel which will provide year-round opportunities for growing fruit, vegetables, trees and wildflowers for the school and wider community.
Estimated Price
3000
While the school had been growing food for many years, this was done in wooden raised beds in the playground which had rotted through. And with frequent visits from deer, many young plants, fruit and vegetables were often eaten before the children had an opportunity for success. The school wished to encourage a positive attitude to growing food, engage the wider community in the school and increase opportunities for outdoor learning. A polytunnel would have many advantages: all-weather cover, an earlier start to the growing season (which is curtailed by the school year ending in July), and protection from local wildlife.
