Worth Valley Primary School may have discovered its own Alan Titchmarsh as it has proudly unveiled a new makeover for the school garden.

The children and teachers have transformed an overgrown area into a multi purpose garden, providing both a learning and social environment.

Children at the Ingrow school have planted different types of plants in the garden, which also contains a water feature, nesting boxes and a barked area to encourage wildlife.

Keighley South councillor Lynne Joyce officially opened the specially designed garden.

The school received a grant from the Community Chest to develop the overgrown area, with money also donated by Earthwatch, a charity that chairman of governors Michael Scarborough has been involved with. The display boards and nesting boxes were supplied by the furniture project and many of the boxes were made by people on community service.

Mr Scarborough, said: "The garden is a wonderful project. Before it was just an overgrown area of grass and weeds. It has brought many members of the community together and we are now hoping to start a nature club in the school".
