Compost compost

We have filled up two compost bins and now we just need to turn them everyday so it turns into compost. 

Look at our Scarecrows

Feeding the citrus trees

Today we fed the citrus trees. 

Mrs Scarecrow

The senior Eco students have been working hard to make a new Mr and Mrs Scarecrow for the garden. Next week we will put them into the garden. 

Planting flowers

Today we planted flowers and herbs into the new tyre garden display in the garden. 

Herb Gardens

On Wednesday some helpers from Ara Tuakana came to plant in some herbs. We planted  thyme, oregano, rosemary, dill, and some curry plants. They smelled delicious!

A new scarecrow

Miss Jones and the Eco children have been very busy making a new scarecrow for the school garden. Stay tinned to see the end result. 

Term 3 Week 2

While Mrs Turner has been away, Miss Jones has been looking after the Eco Kids. This week we have been working hard maintaining our garden.

 Look at how big our beans have grown! 

Week 4

Today we planted French lavender for the bees and tied string around the beans and bamboo to help support the plants as they grow. 

Broad Beans Week 3

Today we planted broad beans into the garden. We learnt how to take the beans out of the containers, trim the roots to help with growth and plant correctly. We then put bamboo stakes next to each plant to help it grow nice and strong. To finish off the lesson we feed the worms in the worm farm!
