Take a sneak peek at our newly planted raised beds full of pollinating plants, herbs and veg!
Adding a range of plants to our raised beds to create a 'kitchen garden' for veg, and to attract bees and other insects as part of school learning, is part of the first phase of our Grow With It project.
A huge thank you must go to a parent from St Bon's, Heather Turner from Gaia Garden Design, for producing our lovely planting plan:
And of course a thank you to our wonderful volunteers for turning up to plant everything in the sunshine yesterday ☀️☀️, and to Henleaze Garden Shop for donating veg plants and compost.
In this video Heather shares more about what's been planted:
Another planting day...
We’ll be revealing a date soon for our next planting day as we still need to plant our final raised bed with more vegetable plants; and there are plans to plant in other areas of our grounds too - so watch this space!
We’ll also be adding little signs to the raised beds with fun facts for the children about some of the plants.
If you are interested in getting more involved with the Grow With It project, and / or would like to join a group to oversee each phase, please contact me (helen.albon@stbonsptfa.com).
