How does your Garden Grow?

Following a recent donation of seeds, soil, trowels, gloves and a new watering can by a generous parent, the school garden has experienced a new frenzy of gardening activity during lunchtimes and playtimes.  A group of children have been busy planting squash, tomato, basil , Swiss chard, peas and wild flower seeds and they hope to share a salad together when everything is fully grown.  I asked the children what they liked about the garden and here are some of their thoughts…”It’s fun to look after the plants and actually see them growing tall…I like caring for our garden and enjoy sharing it with all the animals that live there…It’s fun to clean it up with the sweeping brushes we made with palm leaves…it’s peaceful and nice to be with all the nature…everyone can participate and come and join us in the garden.”
