PUPILS at a Durham comprehensive school have a blooming good reason for being grateful to a car dealer.
For, thanks to Mill Volvo's practical environmental projects scheme, Framwellgate School has received £300 to help develop a millennium bog garden.
The cash will be used by the school's movement skills group, which is made up of special needs pupils and their friends.
The young students will be spending their windfall on bulbs, plants and creating a path through the completed garden.
The awards are part of a national challenge by the car dealership, which is offering to dish out a total of £20,000 for innovative projects.
The money will not only make the school garden look good, but will help to improve the organisational skills and ability to act in a team for the pupils taking part.
