Our school garden project!

Our school garden project!

We have been doing this project since after the summer holidays. We are all enjoying it. Our aim is to produce our own plants and vegetables.

Our target is to get a better environment and grow our own vegetables we are an ECO friendly school.

We started off with improving Pat’s garden. Pat is one of the grandparents of a former pupil of this school.
We had a donation to make a garden for Pat by her family. It was over grown and the beds were rotten so we had money from the PTA and we decided to re-new the vegetable beds. Mr Furneaux who is Mrs Furneaux’s father in law, he offered to make new vegetable beds. We weeded , cleared all the rocks, stones and we pruned all the trees.

We decided to move the compost bins to spare ground that we have not used for a long time. Mrs Richards donated square slabs and we decided to use them for the base of our compost bins. Mrs Hughes did it all in a couple of hours.

We decided to make a fire pit in the garden to burn sticks and etc. We helped Mrs Hughes dig out a hole for the fire pit, all the soil went on to the vegtable beds. The rocks that used around the fire pit were from Pat’s garden that we had spare.

We have erected a poly tunnel, we are yet to put vegetables in the beds, it was put up by Mr Furneaux , Mrs Furneaux and Mrs Hughes. We have been planning which vegetables to put in the beds in the tunnel!
Unfortunately it is winter so we will need to wait until the weather improves.
We had two spare new vegetable patches from pat’s garden.
