Gardening 2012

Recent cold weather has meant that the seeds planted during the Easter holidays have taken a bit longer to get going.

However, this year's merry band of green-fingered young gardeners have been every bit as enthusiastic as last year's crop!

Below are some photos from last year's garden to encourage you all to keep working hard to enjoy the beautiful (and tasty!) results of your labours later in the term.

It was a very hard decision to make this year with a

number of extremely strong entries.

This year's winning garden was created by serial-winner Miranda Strang-Steel - what a talented young gardener she is!

I am so excited to see so many entusiastic gardeners working hard to make their plots as beautiful as possible.

The Walled Garden is somewhere that everyone in the school can enjoy so thank you very much for all your efforts - well done to you all!
