	<link>https://www.houghtonprimary.uk/blog/?pid=10&amp;nid=3&amp;storyid=3</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Circle of Life garden began with a vision to transform an underutilised and neglected piece of land into a vibrant space that gives back to the community.</strong></p>

<p id="H7tOQf4Uhb">This initiative took root when Francesca approached headteacher Ali Woollerson, seeking a space on the school grounds to bring her ideas to life. Francesca has dedicated countless hours, effort, and passion to create a garden that benefits the school, its students, teachers, and the wider community.</p>

<p id="a4ouJR-Oyh">With the help of volunteers and generous donations from local residents and businesses, the garden has embraced a 100% recycled ethos. Pallets have been repurposed into fences and insect hotels, water butts have become sculptures, and logs have been transformed into seating areas.</p>
