They will be planting fruit trees and have invited all the families who have helped on the project to plant their own “Family Tree”.

They also plan to finish the fencing and plant a rainbow of different coloured raspberry bushes.

Nursery teacher Kate Cameron said: “Lots of people came to help us last time and we really hope we can attract more community volunteers this time too.”
