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).

Roots and Shoots Gold Award
Dingwall Academy will be presented with a Gold Award from the Roots and Shoots charity, founded by Jane Goodall. DiGGers are proud to have been instrumental in us gaining the award. Our very own Lewis and Charlotte will travel to London soon to spend a day at London Zoo along with two pupils from the "Waste Not Want Not" elective course. They have been selected along with just a few groups to do a presentation about what we have achieved in the garden to improve our environment in school, grow our own food and encourage greater biodiversity.
We pledge to continue working to improve the garden and encourage others to enjoy it and learn about plants and how important they are to us!
