We are underway!

On Monday the third of October eight kids and six adults planted over 200 seedlings. They will be given away to people who've signed up for the community garden. Yvonne then took them back to the place where she works so they can grow and be watered undercover until they are ready to give away. We planted a variety of different seeds such as spinach, melons, parsley, tomato, beetroot, rocket and others.

Thanks to Mr. Malloy for letting us use his shed, we really needed it since it was such a windy day! 

Thanks also to Homer from Gardens for Health for showing us how to plant seedlings and for providing seeds. In late October we will hopefully have some healthy seedlings ready for people to take home and plant in their own gardens.

  1. Thanks Thea. This is a really interesting post. It was a great team effort planting all those seeds. Yvonne told me yesterday that the chilli seeds have come out first.
    We thought we might plant some of the plants at school too.
