Preparing for Spring!

Yesterday, our Interact group along with members of Rotary came to the garden to plant crocus bulbs as part of the “End Polio Now” scheme.  It was lovely to have so many people visiting!

Planting bulbs into pots

The pots will be watered and cared for and put on display in our “plant theatre” in Spring.  More bulbs were given for planting into the Memorial Garden to add colour to our spring orchard.

In other news, we have now harvested most of our crops and been selling veg boxes to staff.

Our Junior Enhance Provision class have been digging up delicious red potatoes…


…to cook them in many different ways! We started with crisps and potato wedges.

Senior pupil Sean has worked really hard to bring the garden round after the summer holidays - mowing, strimming and hedge cutting!

Meanwhile, Miss S has been improving the accessibility of the garden by cleaning and adding guide lines to the paths and patio.

On a rainy day, we added colour to our outdoor kitchen…

…and have continued to recycle canteen food waste in our hot composter.

We spread the compost on our veg beds to feed next years crops!

The lunch club too have been planting spring bulbs in the memorial garden and keeping the path clear of weeds.
