Veggie garden gets a winter make over!!

With winter cold wrapping itself around the hills we decided it was time to revamp the famous Room22 garden. Because gardening is a seasonal sport we decided on planting out hearty herbs, a good supply of spinach, daisy tyre gardens and even a generous helping of tulip bulbs ready for spring.
Once we cleared the debris ( fallen logs and scrap from the newly felled trees) out we were able to top up the garden with our school-made compost and worm wee wash. Then we added a top layer of mulch ( made from our felled tree branches and leaves) to keep the plants warm in the winter. The children were really enthusiastic in helping out and are looking forward to enjoying spinach and feta filo's as the winter wears on. Learning about sustainable living is hugely important for our children. For many of them it is the first time they have been actively involved in horticulture, an avenue many will pursue in the future.
