COURGETTES, cucumbers and lettuces galore are the sight greeting visitors to Landford Primary School.
Youngsters at the school are discovering the joys of gardening and have produced a wide range of fruit, flowers and vegetables, which are on sale at a stall in the entrance hall.
Teaching assistant Rachel Brown said: "The children love it and we love it. It is absolutely fantastic."
The garden has been created with the help of a £350 grant from the Wiltshire Gardens Trust and the school now has a gardening club and pupils take in turns to tend the plants at lunchtimes.
As well as providing fresh produce for parents to buy, the children are learning about money through keeping track of what they are earning, all of which is going back into a garden fund.
