Article in the local magazine THE KNOWLEDGE

Working in partnership with one reference centre in the area, the KOWLE WEST MEDIA CENTRE. We came together to create an article about our garden project in the local paper.
Really grateful to the article reporter, Nuria Riquelme Palazon and the magazine editor Sue Mackinnon. 
Here is the result. Online Article

Raised beds ready and going

We are having a really busy week in our garden because at last we found free soil to fill up our raised beds.
Understanding that our budget is £0, we depends on donations and every opportunity that we find around the Bristol area. This time, we found free soil through Gumtree so we could plant out all our seedlings that have been growing in the green house for months.
With the adults help the children fill up the beds using rakes and spades and a shopping trolly as a working tools. Carrying, raking and stomping the soil in the planters.

Planting Peas. Using tools, being careful with the plants, following instructions and taking turns.

 Planting butternut squash

And tomatoes

 

Here we are, working together to get the other planters ready where we could grow potatoes, beetroots and leeks.

 They are great gardeners.

All sort of news

During the last few month we have been really busy thinking about to keep developing our garden possibilities.

First, we achieved the Level 2 of the School Gardening Awards, sponsored by the RHS. Now, we are hoping to get the Level 3 soon and work on the next level during the summer term.

Also, we have been in touch with the One tree per Child project, here in Bristol. They donated 10 apple trees that we planted and looking after them carefully we got the in bloom a few weeks ago so now we are monitoring the trees seeking for the first signs of any fruit. 

Much more have happened but we will save the news for the next post!
