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.

Gardening through the sense

Before Easter, we homed a gardening group for parents and children to learn how to enjoy and learn gardening at the same time we spend time play.

Organized by the Bristol Learning Communities Team and the Families Services of Knowle West Children Centre, this group went on for five weeks being a success.
Due it was planned for a small group, many parents that could not join in this edition were interested on attending in a future occasion.

Delivered but an amazing teacher and gardener but greater person Katherine Asal, the sessions were busy from the first minute to the last. 
Have a look to the following picture and description of the sessions.
