Thanks to additional funding from the Growing Good Garden Grant from Life Ed. and Bakers Delight, we’ve been able to make significant improvements to our school veggie garden. Year 6 Healthy Living Leaders have built and installed a mini greenhouse, planted two new apple trees in the orchard and designed a garden sign. Keith has kindly replaced rotten sleepers and installed a weather station.

Students from RG, 2O, RL and RM have enjoyed gardening time this term. They have fed the worms, planted seeds and seedlings, watered, fed and trimmed the plants. We’ve just started harvesting blueberries and tomatoes, yum!
