The College Allotment is going from strength to strength with lots of volunteers and help.
Many thanks for all the kind donations to the allotment project so far. The current wish list includes…
• Old CDs to use as bird scarers (we have lots but could use more)
• Old carpet or tarpaulin that we can cover the ground/compost heap with
• Buckets
• Wellies
• Any old gardening tools (especially trowels)
• Spare seedlings
• Spare compost, leaf mould, grass turves, etc
• Horticultural fleece/plastic sheeting
Now that the gardening season has begun in earnest, we are out in the garden every Wednesday 4-5.00pm, and every Friday 4-5.00pm when it’s not an exeat, half term or end of term. Parents are very welcome to attend as well as students from all years.
The next scheduled digging day will be on Saturday 21st March where we will be finishing off construction and filling of the raised beds, laying bark chips over the pathways, constructing a polytunnel, and courtesy of a generous donation from Mr Lacoste at Cley Nurseries, planting about a million seed potatoes! We’ll meet in the garden at around 12.30pm, and everyone is welcome, even if you’ve never picked up a spade before. Assume the session is going ahead unless it is pouring with rain, or check the school website for updates.
