Well after the recent cold and very wet weather, this sunny spell is more than welcome. In the space of a few days the school grounds have been transformed. There are new leaves bursting out all over the place. The fruit trees are looking very pretty adorned with their blossom flowers and the flag iris in the bog garden are just coming into flower too.I managed to snap up a few root wrapped trees at Homebase yesterday for the princely sum of £2.66 each! So today, Declan helped me to plant them around the edge of the bog garden and give them a really good watering in.
I also managed to bag some bargain basement petunias which the year one gardeners potted up and placed near their classroom entrance. The bright red blousey flowers look terrific.
