Students showed off their green fingers with the help of a community campaign.
Meadowgate Academy and Wisbech In Bloom partnered on a project to redesign and replant the butterfly and bee border in St Peter’s Garden.
Those studying horticulture at the school were asked by the organisation to create a border of nectar-rich plants to attract the insects.
Tim Jellis, their tutor, said: “The students enjoyed working on the project for several weeks, which enabled them to gain practical experience whilst working in the community.
“We hope everyone will enjoy this border once it becomes established.”
While working on the project, many stopped to ask what they were doing and praised them for their efforts.
