Garden update October 2023 

After a very successful meeting with Jenna Cairns from the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere and Malcolm Haddow SWSEIC support officer (South West Environmental Information Centre) we have a plan to take the garden further. 

Increase the biodiversity in the garden by: 

1. Introducing more native flowers, planting bulbs, flowers, and scattering seeds (Emily Hay from CEI will be providing some of these and working with the school.
2. Cap group have given a donation of £100 to raise the planting beds.
3. Using the resources, we have we will be encouraging a host of wildlife including hedgehogs by moving the branches we had from clearing previously from the garden into a more suitable area.
4. Looking at introducing water areas in the garden to encourage a whole host of insect, mammals, and bird life.
5. Malcom has said they would lend us a trail cam to record and watch to see what wildlife comes into the garden when the children are not there. 
6. Compost area will be made, we will be asking the community if they have any unused compost bins they will donate, or we will make our own.
7. Wildflowers being planted along the fence between the garden and pitch and up along the fence with the field to encourage insects and birds.
8. Bird houses and bird feeders will be purchased for the garden also.
9. We will also be installing a weather station within the garden for the children to record the weather.
