Bog Gardening Planting

The wonderful weather continued into the afternoon and our gardening team were back out along with the Forest School group to plant up the new bog garden.
Kate from BCEP, was on hand again to tell the children all about the new additions to the bog garden. We have planted an array of marsh loving plants including purple loostrife, yellow flag iris, horse tail and water mint. So next year, we can look forward to a riot of colour in our bog garden which will hopefully attract some new wildlife to our school grounds.



Here is what some of our bog plants will look like when in flower next year:
Marsh Horsetail


Purple Loosestrife

Water Mint


Yellow Flag Iris
