Pretty Pink Flowers!


Two new faces turned up  in Bluey’s Patch, one belonging to the newest member of the Environment Team and the other happy face is a ‘yet to be named’ Scarecrow … both are very welcome! A nozzle for the hose, has made the filling of the watering cans less difficult, while the layering of straw in the Compost Bin is an ongoing job! A lettuce has sprung up amongst the recently planted seeds, a result of distributing the ‘broken-down’ material from the Compost Bin! But it is not all hard work, as time was taken out to enjoy the pretty pink flowers!

Planting Peas, Beans and Marigolds!

In Bluey’s Patch, students took the time to plant out the Wicking Beds with Dwarf Peas, Beans and Snow Peas and to add some colour to attract the Bees. Marigolds and Calendulas were sprinkled into the soil! Dry straw was scrunched up and placed in the Compost Bin to soak up the moisture from the Crunch & Sip, fruit and veggie scraps. Meanwhile, in another area of the garden, a big black bird was appreciating a drink!
