We are absolutely delighted to have been granted a place on the GROW at School programme this year. We took delivery of our school garden kit which included resources for four raised beds, topsoil and a selection of vegetables to sow throughout the school year. Pupils in the Senior Room were drafted in to set up the new school garden area and with wheelbarrows and spades, they got the job done!!!
Our first job was to sow our garlic and onions. The pupils were so excited and enthusiastic to do this and loved the hands on learning that went with the task. A special thank you to Elaine Shipp, our expert for all things garden related in helping us out with advice in the setting up of the garden area.
We look forward to updating you on progress in the school garden throughout the year.
