Room 7s last garden to table week of term 2

This week is sadly the last week for room 7 to use their gardening skills and we were busy for 2 whole hours! 

We were experts planting the last seedlings - Mrs Mardell was very impressed how knowledgeable we were. 

We weeded the gardens and were VERY surprised at how even more mint had sprouted. 

We harvested the kumara following the tuber roots.

We planted beans and constructed a bean pole.

We transplanted swan plants to make a second swan plant garden to attract monarch butterflies.

We saw that the garlic and peas we had planted were sending out shoots.

We left the gardens well cared for and looking great for the next class.

Mrs Mardell was impressed that we led making compost, planting seedlings and weeding? She overheard a couple of room 7 children say "we love weeding".

Well done Room 7, it's been so much fun and I hope you help out in the garden at home to grow some food!
