Pop up garden shop opens at the Huntingdon campus

Green fingered special educational needs students have opened their own pop up garden shop at the Huntingdon campus of Cambridge Regional College.

A team of 12 Horticulture SEND students and three staff have been busy since January, sowing and growing around 3,000 plants.

There are a wide range of more than 30 varieties of plants, hanging baskets, containers, succulents, annuals and perennials for sale at great prices. Plants cost from 50p each and hanging baskets from £5.

Toni Harrison-Brady, lecturer and study programme leader, said: “We’ve been preparing all year with impressive results. The plants look great.”

Jane Warren, Learning Support Mentor, added: “The students have worked really hard.”

To access the garden pop up shop, go to the reception of Cambridge Regional College Huntingdon campus in California Road where a member of staff can direct you to the stall. It is manned by students and is open daily from 10am to 3pm until the end of term on June 28. It will also be open for shopping during the Huntingdon Community Fun day and dog show on Saturday June 15 from 10.30am to 2.30pm.
