Staniland Primary School had fenced off a section of its grounds to create a garden to mark the start of the 21st century.
Here is a selection of photographs taken by The Standard when it reported on the plans in autumn 1998.

It was anticipated that the garden would have an environmental themed area, which would be used as both an educational tool and as a place where the children could relax. Photo: Boston Standard
