Trying to Save the Beds

I planted some more lavender. I refilled the bee drinker. The ivy had died. Mr Reincke has planted sweet peas.

We learnt about bats

Helping Hedgehogs

Planting Time!

Science: a bird quiz! And hanging the butterflies.

Science: we made bird spotter guides

Science: we looked at butterfly IDs and tried to draw some.

We cleared a bed for spring. Dylan found a ladybird!

Re-planting

Using recycled craft materials, we made bags for our seed bombs.

We are making seed bombs for Christmas presents.

Science: we made sustainable packaging out of popcorn.

Popcorn is biodegradable. We checked the fat balls and they’d all been eaten Refilling the seed tray. Waiting for the corn to pop! We left some popcorn for wildlife to eat.

Making fat balls for the birds - they need energy.

Checking the sunflower heads - they’re being eaten!

Filling a planter with pansies. The finished planter. Tianna found a bee and Auden saw a vole!

We hung up sunflower heads for the birds and re-filled the feeder.

Ivy flowers are important for bees!

Science: we researched what wildlife sunflowers support.

We weeded out the dead flowers and planted heather for the winter.

Meet the new Eco Council!

We made a bee drinking station

One of our customers. Our wildflower mix. Strawberries and tomatoes not fruiting yet! Lots of bee-friendly plants in the main bed.

Healthy Eating Week, and we made salad dressing from the herbs we grew.

Mixing oil and vinegar. Our mint and chives. Chopping herbs. Shaking the dressing! It was very popular!

Planting mystery bulbs! (They might be gladioli.)

A shield bug! Putting the shield bug safely in hedge.
