The gardening club has been very busy researching  seasonal vegetables and designing  garden layouts. They also met with the site manager of our new extension to discuss the idea of redesigning the school garden.  St Mark’s has now been approved for a new vegetable garden! The design is based on four rectangular raised beds and one flower bed.

Designing the garden

Gardening club representatives met with the pupil council and site manager to show their plans.

The site manager looks at his school plans and agrees to take the garden design to the school architect for approval and design.

The new plan featuring the garden design is agreed by the builders and the authority. The revised plan shows the new garden design.

The gardening club has now started to prepare for our new garden. With the help of three students from St Luke’s we’ve started to sow peas, carrots, spinach and strawberries.
