Our Gardening Club takes place on Thursday lunchtimes and is run by Mrs Price and Mrs Hortop. 
- help the children learn to respect and care for our environment.
- teach the children about plants.
- encourage the children to look after their own play areas and make them more attractive.
Week 3 Planting flower seeds.
We have a selection of flower seeds for the children to sow indoors and out. We hope to plant some wildflower seeds in our wildlife area (weather permitting). The children will be shown how to 'pot on' their vegetable seedlings as they grow.
Week 4 Planting Trees in the Wildlife Area
We have some trees that we have been looking after in containers. They are now ready to be planted. The children will be helping dig the holes, plant the trees and keep them watered over the coming weeks.
Week 5 Potting on
The children will be tending the plants they sowed earlier in the season and potting on any that need larger pots. As one of our members wanted to grow strawberries we will be planting some of these and hoping that we have some sun to ripen them.
Week 6 Caring for their plants and the environment
The children will be looking after the plants they have sown, cutting back the spring bulbs and watering and weeding the garden beds. They will be potting on any plants that are ready for a larger pot.
A special thank you to Mr Slee for the donation of boxes of vegetable seedlings for the children to grow.
