The Easter holidays has seen a flurry of activity in the school garden. On Wednesday 13th April the Busy Bees team hosted 'The Big Dig' family gardening day which saw lots of families come along to enjoy the garden and to install and plant up our new "Pollinator Planter". The planter has been filled with a wide variety of annual and perennial plants which we hope will provide nectar and pollen to pollinators across the entire year. From hardy geraniums to lavender, verbascum, buddleia, echinachea, aster, viburnum and sunflowers, the planter will soon be a bee and butterfly friendly hang-out. On Thursday 21st April the team met again to watch the installation of our long awaited potting shed which has been funded through generous donations from the RHS (Connected Communities scheme), The Farnham Round Table and FORS. We got straight to work in using it and the pupils have already sown seeds for numerous summer annuals to give some colour and excitement to the school grounds. Thank you to everyone who came along and made the days such a success. Please get in contact if you are interested in getting involved in the school garden. No experience in gardening is necessary, we welcome families of pupils at the school as well as residents from the local area who are just keen to get outside and enjoy some company and sunshine.
