Yesterday our keen gardeners thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Blairhill Allotments. It was a lovely day and the children learned lots of new things and saw lots of interesting ideas that we can use in our school garden.
\nHere are some of the activities the children enjoyed –
\nWe saw lots of recycled items being used in the allotments such as – old yoghurt tubs being used for plant pots, pallets used for planting displays, old railway sleepers used for raised beds and growing plants in unusual items like a bath.
\nWe played a guessing game where we had to match the seed to the vegetable.
\nWe saw compost heaps and discussed why gardens need worms.
\nWe saw how a water butt works.
\nWe noticed that some gardeners had planted flowers beside their vegetables to attract bees and butterflies.
\nA great time was had by all.
\nA big thank you to Vivien and Kate for organising the visit and activities.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
