Gardening With The Measurements Project At The Ark Community Garden in Newcastle

Newry Mourne and Down District Council’s Mournes and Slieve Croob District Electoral Area Forums (DEAs) delivered a Gardening with Measurements project in partnership with Ark Community Gardens, Newcastle on Wednesday 4 September.

Funded through the Department of Economy, the Gardening with Measurements programme was organised as part of the Multiply Programme which aims to help people improve their maths skills.

Participants in The Ark potting up class used maths to create their planters.

And after all their hard work and mathematical creativity, they retired to the Ark Cafe for tea, coffee, nibbles and buns and then posed for a few photos in the garden with the early autumn sun shining.
