Eco-school has a lot of bottle

CHILDREN at a city school have created an eco-friendly greenhouse with the help of 2200 plastic bottles.

The youngsters at Pentland Primary School, on Oxgangs Green, have been working for a year to transform their playground into a fully functioning and eco-friendly garden.

The greenhouse, which has a wooden frame, is just one feature of the garden, which also includes planters, vegetables patches and flowers.

Parent Heather Levy, who co-ordinated the gardening project, said: "This shows the kids that what's one person's rubbish is someone else's treasure.

"The project really has caught everyone's imagination"
