From little things big things grow

So spring has well and truely sprung. The students have been laying down garden beds and watering the land for a few months now. Our GA and Site manager have been digging in too! Literally paving the way for subsequent projects.Teachers and aides have laid out horseshoe gardens and planted them. Community members have spent holiday time setting about finding extra soil to supplement the poor clay subsoil. Ute loads of donated soil has come from helpful community nursery growers. Our worms have been busy making juice for the roots of newly planted vegies and a mulberry tree has made a quick appearance after migrating from a local backyard. Rabbit straw from blue mountains hutches has been parceled up and found good use in the garden, our links to other growing zones are far reaching. Organic and heirloom seeds have been sourced for the basis of our growing regime, and parents of students have sent in multicutural pods as well. Each day several classes visit and tend. Junior classes have been picnicing and secondary classes have filled raised beds. Wheelchair students have planted their first crops of seedlings. We watch them grow.
