Sunshine, sand and picnics

Great day in the glorious sunshine - watering plants, playing with water and muddy puddle, first sand castles, and cut back that ivy.

Garden day in Easter hols

We're inviting everyone into our garden to have some fun and some find out your ideas for how you want our garden to look.  There'll be a few family activities and an opportunity for some gardening.  Tea, coffee, biscuits provided.

KHCC Stay & Play will also be open as usual during the school holidays, Thursdays 10 to 12.

Mapping the garden

Our first attempt to map what's happened in the garden.  Please visit and update/edit any plans you have:

More Willow

Planted more willow with children today.  Thanks Sarah for photos.

Willow planting season

Rain and other stuff, but still managed to plant more willow around the sandpit yesterday with Garden Tots.  

Garden Tots starts again!

Great to see all again at Garden Tots, and had some magical bean fun (see below).

First picnic of the year

Planting beans

Some beans around the kale too.

Three Bears fun in garden

Ran the theme of 3 bears and Goldilocks, cooking up porridge specially for the occasion.  Great to be out in the garden, and got ivy cut down with help from all - didn't get round to doing the raised beds, but no hurry - garden tots to resume weekly garden fun next week!

Soup, not poridge

End with quick game of 'who can spin for longest'
