We have a small vegetable patch in the Earth Trust Centre garden which is tended by the Countryside Skills students. We grow a variety of produce to eat at the end of year party!
This year, Brookfields School have started us off with some broad beans, peas, and tomatoes. The beans are in our mini greenhouse, and the tomatoes are on Engagement Co-ordinator Mariel’s south-facing windowsill in the office!
We have also started weeding the vegetable beds to prepare them for planting later in the spring. Here are Aaron, Kalan and Samuel doing a great job of pulling up the weeds!
Wallingford School lent a hand in the afternoon, bringing over wheelbarrows of mulch to stop the weeds from growing back through. By the end of the day, we had a beautiful looking veg patch ready for spring!
Keep your eyes peeled for progress blog posts as we plant out the vegetables and watch them grow!
The pictures are really attractive and hypnotizing . Woodland trust has taken a great step in planting trees. Great work. I'm impressed. Keep it up.
