Summer 2018
Our allotment was in need of a lot of attention at the beginning of this year!
But due to a grant from the Global Learning Programme (Poverty and Sustainability Project), we were able to get help to sort out the beds and re-cover our poly-tunnel.
Our thanks go to Matthew and his team from Newfields Gardening CIC. Due to their hard work over a number of days, our beds where dug over and weeded, the grass between the beds cut, and they even helped clean out our shed.
Not only was the poly-tunnel recovered, once we removed everything that was stored in there, they made new beds so we could start to extend our growing season.
So with lots of watering by everyone in school, weeding by pupils during Eco-club in activities and staff at the weekend, we have produce!
Cucumbers are doing well, and Mrs Brobson will be using these before the end of term during cookery lessons.
Runner beans!
