These photos are from the Elves and Fairies Woodland Nursery which recently received a grant from DGT to install a much needed hut for all their precious tools and some trowels and forks to help the children with their vegetable growing. These photos show just how involved the children get with the soil and the produce it produces with their help. The nursery was extremely grateful for our support and we will maintain the relationship.
