Care home garden boosted thanks to green-fingered Rawmarsh kids
Pupils from Rawmarsh Ashwood Primary School decided to brighten the garden at Broadacres Care Home, on nearby Naylor Street, which cares for elderly people and those living with dementia.
After raising money with a bake sale and a non-uniform day, they set to work painting pots and planting flowers for residents to enjoy, and giving benches in the garden a new lick of paint.
