Today pupils from four primary schools took delivery of "Lionheart" main-crop seed potatoes from us at Ellon Academy to grow in their own gardens as part of National Gardening Week.
Ellon Primary pupils...
Auchterellon Primary...
Newburgh Mathers school...
...and Tipperty Primary.
Good luck to all of you with planting your potatoes. Take good care of them and please keep in touch to let us know how you get on!

They then braved the raindrops to dig for worms...
...they collected 15 immature worms to study...
...and housed them in their pre-prepared wormery. A layer of dried leaves on top will feed them. It will be kept in a dark cool place for several weeks to study how the worms behave and grow.
So another active day encouraging people to garden and enjoy the outdoors! Please return to the blog tomorrow to see what else we get up to now the rain has passed. :)
