Students from the prestigious International School of Zug and Luzerne (ISZL) in Switzerland have paid a special visit to the Eden Project’s Watering Lane Nursery to work with the People and Gardens group.

People and Gardens is a project which gives people with physical and emotional impairments the opportunity to build confidence and learn how to grow and sell vegetables.

Twelve students aged 15 and 16 worked with the group on a range of tasks during their four days with the project, including looking after vegetable crops, cutting back hedges and building bird boxes.

This is the fourth year the school has visited People and Gardens and the trip is one of a range of options given to students to volunteer at community projects around the world.
