This week saw our Gardening Club start up again and there was definitely plenty to do!
Apart from the many weeds that we need to tame, there were also some interesting discoveries amongst our overgrown patch, purple carrots, mustard plants, wild sweet peas, wild clover, garlic chives and lots of herbs….a few of us couldn’t resist a bit of tasting! ☘️🌻🌿🌺🌾🥬
Alex in Y8 took home some mint, and then sent in a photo of the mint tea he made for himself that evening! ☕
Everyone got stuck in and managed to start filling up our compost bins. Next week we shall continue, and hopefully start seeding a variety of flowers, herbs and vegetables, whilst learning about the value of soil, organic gardening, growing for food and the effects on our planet. 🌍
The next job to tackle is the renovation of the existing planters or construction of new ones (they are happily rotting away) – do let us know if you know of anyone who can help us with that!
It was wonderful to watch the boys and reminded us all about the health and wellbeing effects of gardening as well.💚
