It was harvest time for the garden academy. Mrs Quinn showed the pupils how to dig up carrots, onions and potatoes and they also started weeding the flat beds. Many of the sunflowers planted by P3 last term have grown tall and strong. They look lovely in our garden. I wonder what they will cook in our learning kitchen with their produce?
