As it’s Poppy Week, some of our Master Gardener pupils and some new members of gardening gang had a look at our tyre planter full of poppies and we talked about the real flowers which inspired the paper symbols. Some of the pupils then planted tulip bulbs in our tyre planters so we’re hoping for a beautiful display in spring! And the others helped plant some flag iris and marsh marigold in our new wetland patch – parents dug the planter out and lined it with plastic this week to make the area around our little pond a boggy spot which we will fill with wetland plants, learn about the importance of wetlands to the environment – and perhaps even attract some wetland wildlife come spring!
