Spring Blooms and Work Continues Apace

This week, the rotary club members visited the garden to see how their End Polio crocus bulbs are coming on.

They are in full bloom...

...and look good...

 in the two newly built plant theatres!

Meanwhile there was a lot of work this Wednesday and Thursday to prepare for a Digger coming in on Saturday.  The boys shifted slabs, more topsoil...

...and rolled back the weed barrier.  Drainage channels will hopefully help with the mud and wet in order to lay better paths.

After all their hard work, they rested a while in the poly-tunnel and potted on some of the wild flowers

Our new stern looking pot people kept a close eye on them!

"You talking about me?!"

In other news, pupils plant onions in the poly-tunnel border,

we have a big delivery of building materials

"How's about that for a hoola hoop?!"

Kiera and Joy clean and re-fill the bird feeders

whilst Jacob starts to empty the big tyre.  We need to move it to make space for the planned poly-tunnel classroom.

Joy lends a hand...

...and they just got it done as the bell went!  Well done you two.

The poly-tunnel has been tidied...

and swept

and the garden looked and felt great in the afternoon sunshine.

Also school journalist Freya came by to interview Miss Swallow about the garden project as part of the BBC "School Report News Day 2017"
