3rd Class registered for this initiative and after completing a pre-project quiz, we received a Grow Box from Agri Aware containing strawberry plants, potatoes, onions and seeds for carrots, lettuce, pole beans, radishes and turnips. We planted them in the classroom in pots and the window propagator that was supplied. The children looked after the watering of them all and the plants thrived.
The plants were in need of more space so yesterday, with the help of Yvonne in the Educational Garden, we transplanted the plants into larger containers in the hope of the growth continuing.
The plants will be in the greenhouse at the Educational Garden for a few weeks, before being moved outside into the cold box and then into the ground in the school garden when they are ready.
