We started this project some time ago with the introduction of large concrete cylinders donated by Barhale.
The weeds grew before we could do much work but this year we started in earnest. First the pupils of Room 15 had to dig out the weeds – that was a real chore – we all got very hot and dirty.
Next the children had to plant them up. We managed to do this because MGM Garden Centre kindly donated bulbs and we ordered 2 apple trees with some of the Morrisons vouchers.
Then water and water and water……. till…
The children then decided we needed to paint the concrete and they chose to use the Olympic colours. We were able to do this at no cost because of Repaint Scotland who donate paint to projects all over Scotland.
This done one of the children pointed out we had no black ring – so the boys brought round the very large tyres from the vegetable garden and hey presto all 5 rings were there.
The icing on the cake was the arrival of the benches bought for us by the Parent Council and a little corner of garden heaven was complete… well almost.
You know we gardeners are never satisfied – so watch this space!
