Our Garden Blog
Our wonderful garden continues to grow and expand, perhaps not at the rate it did during the first semester, but nonetheless progress is being made. We are in the process of expanding our garden and have begun this by building a spiral garden from some old pavers, donated to us by Mr Whitten. A spiral garden is a tiered herb garden, with the centre being the highest point. The herbs placed at the top enjoy the most sun and have more soil to draw water from. The spiral should then taper down to the south, where shade loving herbs are placed in shallower soil. The students are really enjoying the construction process and it has been a great opportunity to talk about the direction of our garden plot in relation to the sun. We would love to make some more, if you have any old pavers or bricks at home, feel free to hand them over! We are also turning some old pallets we found into a plant display. If you have any old gumboots at home, we would love to use them as pot plants. The garden club will be running a stall at our school fete at the end of August. I will be handing out notes this week during garden club, requesting volunteers to help. I have attached the note below for anyone who's missed out. Our weekly garden stall has been a great success with some lovely parents stopping by to purchase fresh veggies and eggs. Thank you for your support. Until next time, happy gardening, Mrs Mills
