Preparing for Spring in our gardens

Last week our students worked very hard to add mulch to our garden beds using some lovely woodchip mulch donated by local tree loppers some time ago. It had begun to break down and in some areas was perfect to add to our veggie patch as a top up for our beds. We could see the effects of fungi breaking down this organic matter allowing wonderful nutrients to be available to our soil.


We had lots of fun working together shovelling and wheelbarrowing our mulch.....

 Then we had a bit of a dig in our Mandala Garden getting our beds ready for planting.....

 ...which was great fun. We found lots of worms and creatures some of which became treats for our chooks!
