Larne Grammar School pupils take part in pop up park project

Larne Grammar School's Year 12 Wellbeing Group enjoyed the opportunity to put their horticulture skills to the test at the 'Pop Up Park' on Larne Main Street.

Throughout September and October LGS have been working in collaboration with GroundworksNI as part of the Northern Ireland Community Gardens and Allotments Project, funded by the Public Health Agency. 

The project aims to improve the physical and mental health of people living within the Northern Health and Social Care Trust area by encouraging outdoor activity, growing and eating fresh produce, and engaging with nature.

During the month of November, pupils will visit the park and enjoy the full experience of the partnership – offering pupils the community dimension of hands-on learning connected to health, wellbeing, environmental awareness, and food growing.
