Gardening Club - Update

 Gardening Club

Our school gardening club has been unable to resume as yet, due to COVID19 restrictions, however this has not stopped our inter generational volunteers from harvesting a wide selection of flowers, fruits and vegetables.

Spring bulbs

Our spring bulbs have really been enjoying the warmer weather recently. It is a shame we are not at school to see how beautiful and colourful they are. They really brighten up our playground.

CAMEO Club 

Pupils from the Gardening Club, shared their gardening knowledge and expertise with members of Houston’s CAMEO Club. They gave a very clear and informative presentation on all the fruit and vegetables they had successfully grown from seed to the harvest stage.

The members were very impressed, especially Mrs Dawson. Afterwards the pupils engaged in gardening word searches and crossword puzzles with the members of the club.

The pupils received a lovely thank you gift for their efforts.

December News

Last session the Gardening Club grew spectacular sunflowers. At the end of the season the flower heads were hung up indoors until the seeds were dry enough to be collected, put into small packets and sold at the Garden Stall at the Christmas Fayre to raise funds for next years plants.

They have also been busy trimming the bushes at the Main Entrance and helping classes to plant their spring bulbs.
