Pupils from nearby Stane Primary who attend the club are now desperate to start harvesting their crops after planting seeds earlier in the year to grow potatoes, carrots, lettuce, onions and much more.
A group of Shotts schoolkids are getting the chance to grow and eat their own vegetables thanks to an exciting initiative from The Salvation Army.

“We pick the children up after school and escort them to the hub in what we call a walking bus, come rain or shine. When they get here, they have a fruit snack and then we do some activities. And then at 4.30pm we sit down and have a healthy meal together where the kids can tell us about their day. Six-year-old Jacob Whitelaw, from Shotts, loves growing potatoes and eating them mashed up with butter.
She added: “I love coming here after school and playing games. Sometimes we go to the park. I really love eating the lettuce we grow.”
