Parents night a great success!

On Thursday night this week, some DiGGers members (Connorhan, Danielle, Rhiannon and Simona) volunteered to stay in school and sell seed potatoes to parents and staff. 


We set up tables in the main corridor and lots of people were very interested.
The girls are putting pre-ordered potatoes together for staff. 
They were kept pretty busy!
                                         We'd like to thank everyone who bought potatoes!
It was a great success - we raised £60 and 10p.  This money is the beginning of a fund for a whole new garden that we are planning to create.  It will have fruit trees, hedge plants, seating and a path in it.
Earlier in the week, we "heeled in" the hedge plants, as they arrived before we are ready to plant into the new area.  Above you can see us digging a trench to put them in...
...and here you can see some of the covered over with soil.  This will keep them alive until we are ready to transplant them.
Simona and Ashton - both new DiGGers members.

    we had good fun selling the potatos. We ran out on the King Edwards because so many people wanted to buy them. We had some pre orders from some of the teachers.

    We had a very good time selling the potatoes. Lots of people bought the King Edward which were the main crop. Main crop means that they are the potatoes that later than the other potatoes. Some of the teachers pre ordered them so that was good. We were left to look after the potatoes by the teacher because it was parents night. It was really good fun.
