Students at Chilton Trinity School in Bridgwater have created a flourishing eco-garden for generations to enjoy.
The garden, rich in nature, plants, and biodiversity, is now used by hundreds of students every day.
The entire community helped with the design and implementation, and the project was inspired by Piet Oudolf’s inspirational Oudolf Field at Hauser & Wirth.
The initiative was funded by a £10,000 grant from the National Education Nature Park.
Assistant Headteacher and project lead Mrs Blunsum said: “Well done to everyone involved in this incredible garden project. To see students, families, and staff all planting side by side was extraordinary.
“The garden feels like it belongs to everyone—and that’s exactly what we hoped for. Nature is transformational for students, for the community and the environment.
“We’re now planning to set up a community garden club, where students will care for a polytunnel and grow food crops—providing an opportunity for people to connect, learn, and combat loneliness.”
Chilton Trinity is recognised as one of the most beautiful and modern school buildings in Britain, with a thriving, caring and high-performing culture.
