Mary Creagh MP was welcomed by pupils of Courthouse Green Primary School. Some of the the students, had met Mary in parliament last year, were excited to welcome her to their school in Bell Green.

They showed Mary their school library, and discussed the work they are doing as an Eco Team. The pupils have met with people from Severn Trent, LetsGoZero, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, to learn about different aspects of environmentalism and recycling measures.

Mary delivered an assembly, and talked to the school about her work as an MP and Minister, and how everyone can all do their bit to help the environment.

Mary officially cut the ribbon to open the school’s brand new sensory garden. She gave the Eco Team a birdbox for their garden and they agreed on the best place to hang it.

Mary Creagh MP said:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to open this brand new facility in the heart of Coventry to bring nature, plants, wildlife, and pollinators closer to the children who live here, many of whom live in blocks of flats and don’t have access to a garden, and can now learn about and learn to love nature”.

“We are determined to bring nature closer to the people that need it most and we know that if we can spark that passion towards nature at an early age people become lifelong fans”.
