Potting shed Our old sports shed has been renovated and is now our garden potting shed. With funding gratefully received from the World Wildlife Fund we were able to rebuild the shed and purchase garden tools, plants and potting mix.
Our children really love working in the potting shed; sowing seeds, potting seedlings up or gathering seeds from collected plants.
| Sewing seeds in early Spring Our children follow the seasons with activities in their gardens:
Spring is for planting and keeping the birds off the seeds - Our scarecrows did a great job!
Summer for tending the gardens - weeding and watering
The Autumn Harvest is an exciting time - there's potatoes to dig and eat, the cranberries are highly prized, and making calendula cream from summer flowers is fun - and of course, the cream is great for gardeners' hands.
Autumn and Winter is tidy up time in the gardens, composting, weeding and seed collection.
