The Garden this week ..........

With the snow and ice, our garden is both rock hard and freezing cold!  It's really too early for planting, and with the gravel finished, there's no wheelbarrowing and other jobs that will keep us warm while we work! We think we'll shatter a spade if we tried to dig! So we've stayed indoors and created garden art instead!  The children have made Boggarts, little folklore creatures out of modelling clay.  Boggarts are guardians of gardens and the children thought it would be a lovely idea to make our own and put them in our flower beds (when it's warmer!) to guard our veggies!  We have a wide selection of creatures including a dinosaur, a lion, a snake and a penguin!  Here they are sitting on top of the library shelves!


Our clay Boggarts!
....but we had a great time making them!
As you can see, they are a motley bunch.........











More Olympian Donations!

We have been given a lovely blue swimsuit and a pair of bright pink goggles for our Garden Scarecrows, but we still need a lot more!  Keep it coming!

Garden Sales

Thank you for supporting us with our garden sales. It makes quite a difference and allows us to purchase small items for the garden and your children.  The sales won't happen every week at this time of year, but later on, we hope to be out quite frequently with the children, selling our very own produce!


More Boggarts!
