Here is a run down of what our wonderful garden volunteers have been up to after school and at weekends. <\/em><\/span>Thank you to Mrs Richardson for leading them all and her hard work in this.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

18 April\u00a0 – What a lovely evening for gardening club, we planted our sunflower seeds and started weeding, in-between exploring the new chicken hut!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

20 April – A great day was had\u00a0 building the school chicken run and coop along with gardening. We had a lovely team of parent helpers and invaluable help from locals Mark and Dave.. we couldn\u2019t of done it without you, thank you to everyone<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

24 April – The weather was ideal for gardening club today \"\ud83c\udf1e\"<\/span>.. we split in to groups and finished off what the school started in the afternoon. This was checking on all the hedgerow plants that were planted nearly 2 years ago. We put a cardboard base around them ( to stop weeds etc) then mulched them my adding cut grass on to the cardboard. This was very popular!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We then planted up some strawberry plants, added some red onions to the garlic patch and planted some flower seeds. We also inspected the new chicken area.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
