Today is the first day of Spring and we have had beautiful weather. We took advantage of this and started our Gardening Club today. So far, two children have been nominated from each class from Y3-6 and we went outside and planted potatoes today into grow bags. I am going to put up some photos and ask the children who helped me to write some instructions on how to plant potatoes.
We have also received some new raised beds that Mr White is building and we hope to have one per class very soon. We are going to grow things we can eat! This is part of our project with the school in Tobago. They are also growing food in their vegetable beds.
Children have also asked if we can get the Garden dug over and re-planted. Would any parents be able to volunteer to help us please? Let Mr Hall know if you would like to help and we will try to come in one Saturday!
So Gardening Club, can you tell us how to plant potatoes please? Here’s the sequence of photos….

I really liked garding club I want to do it again.
Wow that was a really interesting post. I loved growing leaves in our planter. I hope that we can grow a apple tree next, that way we can have nice fresh apples or we can grow a orange tree. I would love to see what they are growing in Tobago. In my garden we are growing strawberries, rosemerry, tomatos and flowers. It looks really nice and I hope the schools garden looks as good as mine.
Firstly I have to thank my teacher Mr Sloan for choosing me to do Gardening club. I really enjoyed doing Gardening with different kids. I enjoyed planting for my class and planting potaoes. I would like to plant some plants again but we have to leav this school so we might not do any planting.

Hi Mrs Pattison,
I think gardening club is a very good club because it can help you with your learning as well as helping out friends and family. I feel strongly about this because its a great way of helping the environment. So I would just like to say well done and have fun gardening!
First you must put your put your seeds into your soil. Then you must water the plants maybe every second day or so. After that you wait until your potatoes grow and then you could pick then. By the way I’m having good fun in gardening club.
First put the seed in the soil.Everyday water the potatoes.It will start to grow if you water it everyday.
I like garderning, my mum says she will get some seeds so we can make our gardern look beautiful.
