Last night I went to my local Morrisons and bought lots of geraniums, marigolds and petunias - 2 boxes for £3.00 was a steal.
So this afternoon, I had a little gang armed with trowels and they set about planting the flowers in the planters in and around school. To our delight, one of our mums, Mrs Johnson turned up to help too.
Later, we weeded the beds on the other side of the polytunnel. This area tends to get rather neglected as it was set up as a blackberry/strawberry/blueberry and any type of berry area. I really want to do some more with it, but just quite don't get there!
The children took great delight in scaring Mrs Johnson with worms and slimy snails. There was a lot of laughter and squeals of delight. I just hope Mrs Johnson comes back next week!
Thanks Mrs Johnson - the beds look fantastic!
