GREENFINGERED students have been helping to transform part of the Sanders Park allotments.
A Bromsgrove team of youngsters, from the Worcester College of Technology, helped clear away overgrown vegetation and designed and created a low maintenance vegetable garden.
The project was organised through the help of Charford drop-in centre, the Trunk, and was undertaken by youngsters, aged between 16 and 22, who are working towards the completion of the Prince Trust’s personal development course.
The course aims to equip students with experience and skills, which will help make them more desirable to employers.
Prince’s Trust team leader, Wendy Bookham, said youngsters used their skills and experience to design and create the user friendly allotment plot.
She added: “They were determined to complete the project on time and on budget.”
