We are now into November and have been busy preparing the garden for winter. Most of the vegetables have been lifted and used either in the Home Economics department or Pupil Support kitchen. We still have leeks, brussel sprouts, chard and parsley in the garden.

School students have been busy winter digging the garden and putting dung in ready for next year’s planting. The Borders College students are preparing a paved area for raised beds allowing access to the garden for all students.

We are very excited about receiving the grant so that we can buy our polytunnel, get a water in the garden and purchase our Ipads so that we can share and record the students’ learning experiences with the school and the wider community.
