BAM Plant Community Project 2010 - Park Road Junior School

We are creating a nautical garden using dinghy hulls to make gardening planters, which will create an exciting and stimulating environment for young minds to experince the joys of sowing seeds and growing plants (an experience the vast majority would never get).

How can you help?

We need fibre glass dinghy hulls

Throughout the UK, there are over 1500 sailing clubs and in their dinghy parks are “dead boats” waiting to be disposed of.

We can recycle these – we just need the contacts.

Do you have any contacts with sailing clubs – or know anybody who does?

Your help will be gratefully received by us and by the children of Park Road Junior School.
