Guest Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Hello We are trying to develop our outdoor area at school. Does anyone have any information about freebies!!! Thinking of things like logs, plants, or anything. Money is tight!!! I am in East London. Thanks all.
Guest Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Hi try contacting tree surgeons re logs etc. We have a tree surgeon parent who is happy to supply us with those for free. Also check out your nearest scrap store-I came away recently with clear plastic tubes which my children love sending balls and water down for around a fiver. We also have tyres stacked up and planted (with tumbling tomatoes at the moment) and these were begged from a local garage for free. Deb
AnonyMouse_33615 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 We got some lovely fruit trees and gardening tools with our Morrison's Let's Grow vouchers. Our local garden centre have also been really generous with donations. I would always ask parents for donations of plants too.
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 tyres.. local garage guttering and down pipes .. local window fitting firm... ours gave us some of the old ones they had removed form houses when replacing guttering etc.. as well as offcuts... and join freecycle... amazing what you can find on there.. we use it to get rid of things too... surprising what people want..
