Planting , maintaining, repairing!

On Wednesday Kyle Lawrence and Kody planted a beautiful cherry tree in the Memorial Garden.  It was gifted to us by Mrs Buchan on her retirement.

The hole was started by the S1 team as it needed to be deep and the ground is very stony! 

Last Friday the Interact Group who work with Rotary sowed lots of sunflower seeds.  Once germinated, the seedlings will be planted out during the activity days.

Onions…

potatoes…

broad and runner beans…

 

sweet peas and tomatoes have all been planted,

after a great deal of preparation!

William helped fill the water bottles for seedlings in the polytunnel.

Kody has now clad the first side of the small shed to ensure it lasts many years.

Other jobs have included cutting back roses, fixing a rotten gatepost and renewing pallets under the IBC tank to keep it safe.  Thanks to Mr Pate and Mr Higgins for providing muscle power for that!

Miss Swallow is off until after the summer holidays so the garden is in the hands of the ASL department, library volunteers, other staff volunteers and Gordon Park Nursery so I look forward to returning to a well weeded and nurtured garden! 😁🌻🥔🥕🍅🧅🧄
