A TREE-MENDOUS donation taking root at Lyme Regis area schools saw pupils carry out some planting.
The Uplyme and Lyme Regis Horticultural Society has continued its support for the gardening activities at local schools by donating Bramley seedling apple trees for pupils to plant.
A tree was planted at Mrs Ethelston’s CE Primary Academy, St Michael's CE VA Primary School and The Woodroffe School.
It came about following a talk that local botanist and Amazonian explorer Sir Ghillean Prance gave to the society entitled ‘Glorious Trees’. After the talk he requested that fruit trees be donated to local schools. The trees were planted just before the end of term with the help of young students ranging in age from 4 to 14 years together with Sir Ghillean and members of the society in attendance.
