February
Both the Eco Group and the year 9s were involved in the task of clearing ground space of brambles during half term. We were amazed at how much space was left when it was completed. Wood chip was also put down to create more of a suitable path to the outdoor area. Brambles were shredded and a lot went into the composter. The Living Willow Tunnel was started… so a busy month for us.

March
This month we’ve been finishing off the clearing of the brambles and shredding them. We’ve put down more wood chipping and have completed the Williow Tunnel- pictures soon when there’s some life showing!
One of the most important additions to the outdoor area- the greenhouse- has also been erected.

18th March
A couple of us added the finishing touches to the path leading to the greenhouse. While this was happening, the rest of us were planting seeds to stick in the greenhouse. These included; red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Leeks, French Marigold, Lavender, Tomatoes, Peppers and Lettuce.

As well as Rhubarb and Asparagus being planted in the veg patches outside, we started our Sunflower Competition!

Remember, if this seems like your sort of thing, you’re welcome to get involved.

Three billion gallons
Of sewage
Floating in de sea.
There’s a time bomb
In our water,
De boats are
Dirty too,
Three billion gallons
Of sewage,
All for you.
