In October 2020 a local school asked Paul Kania, Works Manager Concrete Products Buxton, for help with supplies to make some garden planters.  Paul spoke with the teacher and offered some pallets. Obviously due to COVID they couldn’t go on site to lend-a -hand but this was a way the team could help the local community.

Paul Kania commented: “This was a great little project we could easily help with during the pandemic. Community projects have been hard to lend-a-hand with currently.

The school sent a little thank you message and some pictures of what they have built. We are looking forward to seeing the pictures in bloom and how the children get on cooking the veggies!”

Here is the note: “Thank you for the pallets which you kindly donated to school. We are starting to see things grow now that the weather is improving. I’ll take some more pictures when the flowers bloom.

 We currently have tulips, daffodils, leeks, garlic, raspberries, and potatoes in the planters. Soon we will have sweet peas and garden peas. When some of the vegetables are ready, we will cook them in school for all of the Reception children to try. The children really enjoyed planting the flower bulbs before Christmas.”
