This week the students started work on the overgrown allotment. The first thing we needed was a compost heap area, as already we have created lots of green waste. Finally, by the end of week we started making progress.
The winter months and lots of renovation
Although its winter, nothing is stopping the garden team from renovations and clearing in the secret garden. Work began by clearing all the brambles from the wildlife area and we discovered two amazing ponds. One pond was still full of water even though it had a canopy of bamboo over it and debris. It has been such a delight to open this pond up and discover frogs and pond insects. We are looking forward to bringing more wildlife back to these ponds in time - already the birds have rediscovered the pond and now bathing in it for a wash. The second pond discovered did not have as much good fortune as all the pond lining had broken with bamboo growing through it. Therefore we have decided to rip the pond liner up and fill it in with our homemade compost (Which we have plenty of). Here are lots of photos that show our journey over the last few months, newest photos to oldest. Well done to all the garden team.
