The first signs of growth in the vegetable gardens.

The plants are thriving. Children from each class have been tending to the gardens, weeding and watering when needed.

Everyone has watched the plants grow and many of the children and staff have tasted radishes and lettuce. We are looking forward to tasting the carrots and peas and are wondering if we will have a good crop of potatoes.

The strawberries are starting to ripen- they look wonderful.

Shrubs donated by the Woodland Trust.

Thank you Mr Robb for your horticultural advice.and help - especially digging the holes.
