Last week the AM, nursery alongside Mrs Peden, Miss Mitchell and Mrs Chalmers, helped to give the nursery garden an excellent clean. We weeded out all the pots and planters, scrubbed to toys and power washed the safety surface.
However…Miss Mitchell has great plans for the Nursery garden.
Her first projects is going to be the construction of a ‘Bug Hotel’ to help the bugs get ready for winter. This project is to support the local eco system.
So, I hear you ask, how do you build a bug hotel.
