A busy Staff Training Day

On Friday this week, we had approximately 30 teachers from many Highland Primary Schools and Education Centres in school for a "Get Growing" training day.

 Toni and Norman from RoWAN (Ross-shire Waste Action Network) and Maggie from RHET (Royal Highland Education Trust) were running the event and they were both in the classroom and out in the garden.  Thanks folks for all the weeding you have done for us!

 Miss Swallow joined them after lunch for a "question & answer" session.  They were interested to hear about DiGGers and how gardening has taken off at the Academy.  It was great to meet so many keen educators and I wish them all well in their growing challenges!

If anyone has any questions or comments - not just about DiGGers but your own growing successes or doubts, please feel free to use the comments section below to post queries and I will certainly endeavour to answer them as best I can!

In future, I hope to develop a link to a forum that we can all use to communicate, share ideas and even arrange plant or seed swaps.  There may also be the opportunity to buy peat-free compost (made from Bracken and Sheep's Wool) at a bulk price in future so watch this space!
