Children at Chilton Trinity Technology College will have their work cut out cultivating the land.

The plot was provided courtesy of Sedgemoor District Council, but only weeds have grown on it for the past year or so.

The children now have the task of smartening it up, and turning it into a workable plot.

Somerset Community Food Network will monitor progress and offer advice.

It's hoped that veg grown at the plot will be used for school dinners.

We've made a start planting an apple orchard in the school grounds.

The orchard is behind the tennis courts and will be maintained by the children.

The apple tree planting season isn't until the autumn, but two trees in pots have been sunk into the ground to mark the launch of the scheme.
