Over the last few weeks we have been very busy in the garden. This has included preparing the gardens for spring plantings. Children have worked hard to weed and dig over the gardens. We have also added some new soil to the green house for the new season. It has been wonderful to see the number of children who see us in the garden and want to join in and help. Lots of great learning about how to prepare the ground for planting, how to plant and take care of seeds and seedlings. We know that is becoming increasingly important that we have skills to grow our own food in the future.
We have planted:
- Potatoes
- Strawberries
- Cucumbers
- Capsicums
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Beans
- Peas
- Beetroot
We can't wait to see the fruits of our labour over the next few months. Some lucky children have already sample some of the juicy strawberries that we have grown in the tunnel house!
We also have some new swan plants growing in our Swan plant nursery in preparation for our butterfly gardens. We can't wait to plant them out when they are big enough!
