The outdoor elements have been added to Market Drayton's branch of the fast food restaurant by franchisee Matt Winfield, with the help of schoolchildren who assisted with the design of the project.

To celebrate the launch, Mr Winfield hosted a walking tour of the garden alongside pupils of Market Drayton Junior School who were involved.

Attendees were taken through each of the garden’s elements and its purpose, learning how the area promotes biodiversity.
