Homes in the garden

Today's theme was 'Home'.  First we searched for homes already in our garden.

'The bugman showed us where to look'

We looked at wormcasts, cobwebs and other homes in the garden.  The we made our own homes, ready for 'Three Little Pigs' and other stories.

I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!

Pirate Potato Treasure

Great day of pirate shinnanigans, Aaargh!

Maps, check, Hats, check

We're going this way, that way , forward, backward, over the Irish Sea!

Pirates always share their treasure!

Fair Food Art

First of a couple of food art workshops at the stay & play in the garden.  A mix of fairtrade and locally foraged fruit and nuts rolled, cut, printed.

Apples and Quinces

Starting again!

Next week (Wednesday 12:00) we start up our Garden Club after a little summer break.

First a quick review the last few month's achievements, since starting Wednesday Garden Club in May:

We've planted potatoes, salad stuff, curly Kale, beans, courgettes, we've weeded up and supported the 'Kings Heath in bloom' event, we've had stories supported by Highbury Children's Centre, Bug hunts with OPAL WM, Butterflies with Butterly conservation trust, forest trail with forest school practitioner Claire Chapman,  run a Potato day, supported the stay & play group and eaten a lot of strawberries.  And finally cut down the Sycamores blocking out the light, breaking our fence and, if allowed to grow much more, would have caused damage to the Community Centre foundations.

Half way done

Let there be light!

We have a full timetable for coming months, weather dependent.  Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
