A huge thank you to my dedicated ‘Garden gang’ who turned up on Tuesday and put in a great session deadheading, raking and shifting more bark chippings. When we were beaten by the strengthening rain, we retreated to the club house and began work on the hazel archway that will create the entrance to the read more »
This afternoon teamwork was in full flow as we relocated the sycamore that was felled last week. The woodland walk is now lined with new log piles ready for mini-beast hunts and the willow classroom is kitted out with fresh seating. A huge thank you as always to the dedicated ‘Garden Gang’!
Happy Friday all! This is from Tuesday evening and made me smile.

The plan is to remove the weed webbing and the planting beds, rake it over and sow a mix of sedges, wild flowers read more »
Hi Holy Trinity, I didn’t manage to blog last week so here is what we got up to on Tuesday night in our after school club. The children were split into pairs and each was given a vegetable bed to dig over and weed. They all put in a great shift.
Tonight saw the first meeting of the ‘Garden Gang’ in the second half of the Autumn term. The children worked hard for their hour raking the huge volume of leaves that have fallen and planting willow cuttings.
