Young horticulturalists at St Joseph's College in Staffordshire want to make Stoke the garden of England.
The Catholic high school in Trent Vale has created its own vegetable and flower garden, digging up a grass verge at the side of the school's chapel to produce God's own bounty.
Now eager Year 8 and Year 9 pupils are busy tending to their ever-burgeoning array of leafy goods, working as a team to water and weed their crop.
Among the harvest will be runner beans, broad beans, coriander, lettuce, radish, cabbage, sprouts, onions, rhubarb and sweet peas.
