Firm backs school’s greenhouse plan
Local telephony specialists Invictus Communications has pledged support for plans by a city primary school to build its first greenhouse using plastic bottles – enabling pupils to grow their own flowers, fruit and vegetables.
Cherry Tree Hill Primary School,
in Chaddesden, Derby, has collected 1,300 empty plastic bottles which will be used to build the greenhouse. They will be helped by members of the local Rotary Club and plan to have the
greenhouse ready by Easter. Invictus Communications Managing Director Jonny McPhee said: “As a local business, working for local businesses and committed to supporting local communities, we were keen to help Cherry Tree
Hill Primary School with this great initiative. I know from experience just how creative the staff and pupils are at this wonderful school and I look forward to seeing how they turn the plastic bottles into a working greenhouse.”
