Thankfully the much needed rain on Wednesday didn't hamper the great work of Year 1 in the garden on Thursday!
Year 1 were out potting on the lavender plants which they started caring for in the Autumn term with a helping hand from Alex May. They also helped sow our calendula seeds which we will be growing and giving away to the local community as part of the RHS Connected Communities #growwell scheme. A big shout out to Flora Rigg for the donation of some beautiful pelargoniums (the tender version of the hardy geraniums which we now have in the pollinator planter) and some lavender which are now cheering up the KS1 playground and which Reception class will be tending to. The vegetables sown by Year 3 a few weeks ago have enjoyed the rainwater and we now have radish, lettuce and carrot seedlings popping through the compost - much to the delight of the pupils! We have also received lots of wonderful donations this week including some beautiful smelling apple mint, some Nicotiana seedlings for potting on for our summer displays and some wild bird seed from the Farnham Lions club. Due to allergies we sadly aren't allowed to use the wild bird seed in school (we stick to pure sunflower hearts and seeds) but they are now up on the Market Cart with a suggested donation request of £5 and any monies raised will be heading straight to the compost kitty. We had some tomato plants on the Market Cart earlier in the week as well which were snapped up by our enthusiastic growers. Thank you again to all of our wonderful supporters.
