Colourful crocuses herald the start of spring and an "End to Polio"

Last Friday, the Interact group came out to the garden to see the Rotary End Polio Crocus flowers in bloom.
They timed it just perfectly as they are looking great.
It was a lovely day, so the group decided to stay.
They set to work sweeping...
...watering...
...and weeding!  Thank you all for your efforts - you made a big difference in a short time 🙂
In other news, we had a visitor -  Barbara Last - to see the whole garden project and talk about possible funding opportunities from the Co-op.
Miss Swallow also attended the Transition Black Isle Potato Day to help out with the event.
Many varieties of seed potato were available to the public...
...and several boxes were donated to school at the end so a huge thank you to them as well!  The tubers are available at 15p each - email at susan.swallow@aberdeenshire.gov.uk if interested to buy and collect from school.  The remainder will be planted in the garden of course.
Meanwhile crops continue to mature in the polytunnel...
...we are cropping winter salad leaves for staff...
...and pupils have been potting up plants for the Memorial Garden area.
