A lovely day in the garden.

It has been a very busy day in the garden today. Kate from BCEP came to talk to us about installing a bog garden below the slope where the fruit trees are planted. If all goes to plan (and with the help of some willing volunteers) the bog garden will be dug in early September.

We also have a very exciting delivery. Lots of lovely logs. The guys from Eldwick Joinery Service have been beavering away, building a log circle, stepping stones, den building posts and a fabulous log 'throne' seating area. Piccies to follow.
Groups of children from each class came out to join us in the garden and carry out some maintenance. There was lots of weeding, feeding and watering to do. We also sowed some more radishes and some spinach and carrots.

The children in Year One were excellent pest detectors and managed to spot some caterpillar eggs on the brassicas.
