Students from a Brentford school were invited to take part in a gardening masterclass at the site of the Verdo development at Kew Bridge.

EcoWorld London invited students from Green Dragon Primary School to take part in the session run by Kingston Landscape Group.

More than thirty children, accompanied by teachers and volunteers, were taught how to create and look after a garden.

They were also given a chance to get their hands dirty by helping to plant the very first flower beds on the project outside the development’s site office.

Robin Goodlet, Managing Director for EcoWorld London, said: “It was great to welcome all of the students onsite and show them how the scheme is progressing as well as helping educate them on caring for gardens.

"One of the defining features of Verdo-Kew Bridge is its accessibility to green spaces, with Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury Park just moments away from the development and two stunning private gardens for residents to enjoy.”

Cath Pinkney, Acting Deputy Head Teacher from Green Dragon Primary School said: “It was a brilliant morning.

“The children learned a great deal about the project and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and getting their hands dirty.”

Verdo Kew-Bridge’s new show apartment will be open from April 6.

People will have the opportunity to come and explore how the development will provide the best of London living and to meet EcoWorld teams.

In addition to over 900 new homes, the scheme also incorporates the new Brentford Community Stadium, a purpose-built location for Brentford FC Community Sports Trust and a public square with shops and cafes.
