Chilton Trinity School in Bridgwater, Somerset, part of the Futura Learning Partnership, developed the garden for the community.
The garden is now a rich wildlife haven, utilised by students daily.
The project got a £10,000 funding boost 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.”
The garden is already attracting wildlife including butterflies, bees, hoverflies, and even a frog.
Mrs Blunsum is now looking at the potential for a community garden club
She said: “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.”
The project was inspired by Piet Oudolf’s Oudolf Field at Hauser & Wirth.
