20 January – Chelsea Competition & Beautiful Beetroot
It was great to be out in the School Garden again and we welcomed Mrs Penny Donmall to our Team of Adult Gardeners. It was a very busy session which started with the planting of Sweet Peas in Modular Trays to grow for the 2014 Miracle Grow Chelsea Flower Show Competition – go to the Schools Section at www.lovethegarden.com for all the details. The next job was to plant Beetroot seeds in Modular Trays for School and in individual pots to take home to grow. Finally, while some of the Year 2 Members scattered Corn Poppy seeds in the Reflective Area (in remembrance of the fallen, wounded and those who lost their lives in WW1 – a Norfolk County Council initiative) the rest of the Gardening Team got busy sweeping, raking and tidying up the School Garden.
