Next Steps

There is actually a lot for us to do to get a garden up and going.

We had our first meeting on Wednesday 18th November and talked about what to call the Gardening Group and what we would like to grow etc.

The following Wednesday (25th November 09) we planted up the barrels outside the front of the school with a mixture of bulbs - they should give good colour (tulips and daffodils) and scent (blue hyacinths) in the spring. The weather was horrible! Wet and windy, but we persevered!
On Wednesday 2nd December 09, we collected leaves from under the tree on the bank behind the school building. We have stored them ready to put into a leafmold pile for composting. They will need to rot down for two years before they'll be ready to use!

This Wednesday (9th December) we plan to start laying out raised beds ready for a delivery of topsoil next week!
