About Fraser

Previously suffering from anger issues, Fraser has developed a love for the outdoors and shown a huge commitment to the school garden, enthusiastically growing a range of fruit and veg. As well as working hard in the school garden, he has also approached members of the community including a local nursery to get everyone involved in growing.
