DIGGers meet on Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes - we aim to grow our own fruit and veg and have fun eating it! We also raise money for charity each year through a growing competition and give our primary schools a competition to try and win the "Lewis MacKenzie Trophy" (see bottom of page for a list of winners and fundraisers).

Sunflower competition launched
Today, three members went to Frank Nicol's garden centre with the sunflowers. We planted all 16 of them into big pots and created a display. Anyone can now visit the centre to see the flowers and take part in the competition. It costs 20p to make a guess. The aim is to guess whose sunflower will grow the tallest, and how tall it will be (to the nearest cm). The winner will win a £20 voucher to spend in the garden centre. We would like to thank Frank Nicol's for hosting the competition and looking after the flowers as they grow over the summer months. We will measure them in September. In the pictures you can see Alexander MacKinnon (S1), Lewis MacKenzie (S2) and Lewis Ross (S3) setting them up. Don't forget, all money raised will go towards buying a goat (or two) for a family in Africa, so feel free to come along and join in the fun!
