Harden Primary School's raised bed with railway sleepers

Here are photographs of a completed project at Harden Primary School. The railway sleeper raised beds were created for the nursery children providing them with a butterfly garden and two small growing beds. They absolutely love it!
It was B&Q’s own ‘Funky’ brand, as in Funky Red etc with a clear outdoor varnish to weatherproof them. The colours are the closest I could get to one of the nurseries story book characters known as curly the caterpillar.

An absolutely delightful and enchanting railway sleeper project, that is wonderful not only in appearance, but also in bringing young children into gardening.
