Thursday Gardening Club

Peas and potatoes in our garden down the bank.

For our Thursday Club we got the choice to do gardening.
Josie says:  Thursday gardening club is really fun! This week we walked around the school suggesting things we could plant and good places to plant.

Emma M says: I think it’s a good idea to make gardens in the school.

Meg says: We are planning to make some compost bins, so if anybody could bring in seaweed and organic food scraps (but not meat), that would be great.

We are looking at creative ways to plant, using pots and containers, gardens in different and surprising places including down the bank where we are growing peas and potatoes.  It is really awesome to see things growing!
