June 2012

Gardening club have been busy planting on the plot.

 We planted flowers, squashes, sprouts, courgettes and pumpkins.

On the odd occasion when it has not rained we have watered our plants.

We planted our pumpkins. These are our own pumpkins which we have propagated from seed.

We are going to see who grows the largest pumpkin, so we have labelled them with our names.

May 2012

This term we have set up our wormery.  

 Each week we will feed the worms

with fruit and vegetables.

They will break down the
waste into compost
that will feed our garden.

We planted our runner beans
 on the plot.

We used lots of different varieties.

I wonder if any are magic beans.

                                                                  

We also have put in our potatoes. 
and planted some cucumber plants.

The sun has been shining and the weather

 has been hot so we have been busy watering too.

         

April 2012

This term Gardening club have

been planting and propagating seeds

We planted lots of different types

                               of squashes, gourds and pumpkins.

We filled our propagators up with soil.

  We all got stuck in planting the seeds.

We watered them and put them under glass.

This will help them to germinate

     and grow much more quickly.

                                    

It has done nothing but rain, we have not been

able to get out on the plot as often as

we would like which makes us a bit sad.

There is a saying that gardeners use to cheer

ourselves up when it rains lots at this time of year

"April showers bring May flowers"

Lets hope it comes true

This term Gardening Club

created our springtime

school logo with brightly coloured

primulas and sedums

 

We marked out the pattern

 in the soil then everyone got

 stuck in planting

 We created our own bird feeders
 we used dripping and seed

We hung our feeders around the
school grounds and on the nature trail 

 

 

 

We are taking care of the
wildlife that visits
our nature trail

 

We would like to welcome 
our new members to Gardening Club

Today we worked

on our nature trail

      We hung our bird feeders in the trees to encourage the birds to the nature trail and our gardens

With the frosty weather this

week we are concerned the

birds are hungry

 

We had a good look

around our gardens to

see what was growing

Look at what we found

growing

We got busy and planted our leeks

on the vegetable plot

November

 

This week gardening club worked together

to create a living school logo

 

We used ornamental cabbages and sedums

to create the effect

We drew out our design on the soil with coloured sand, then filled it in with plants

     We watered in our creation

Other jobs we’ve been doing are  

Planting bulbs in the flower garden

ready for the spring

We have also planted spring cabbages, broad beans and onions.

I want to say thank you to our gardeners as they come ready for work rain or shine they all work so hard

and give their all to every project

We would like to say a special thank you to everyone who has collected and handed in Morrisons vouchers we have collected over 14,000 vouchers. This will buy tools for the Nursery and Reception gardens and equipment
