Saskia Boonzaier gardening blog.


The Grade 5 & 6’s at the College have been working really hard to transform the barren piece of ground behind the staff room block. They have moved the rain tank with the help of some willing adults!


Pulled out old thistles and weeds.

Made the first raised beds out of old building leftovers – lots of sawing and hammering.



Then they added old pieces of cardboard and watered them.


Covered the cardboard with soil ready to plant seeds.
More pictures will follow soon as the beans, radishes and coriander that were planted start to sprout!
 
While the new garden was taking shape, the existing veggies still needed to be tended.



 
 
All of the plants harvested are donated to Aggie’s Soup Kitchen in Sea Vista.
Well done and keep up the good work.
