Heat Wave Summer of '09




The Green has been a hot place over the summer break. With driving winds and several strings of above 40 days the area has been hard to keep alive. Peter and John have kept up water to the student's vegetable plots and trees. Happily classes return to a Halinda Green where the plants have been able to continue to grow despite the heat. Thanks to our site manager and grounds assistant.



Plants have certainly flourished. Egg plants have swollen, melons grown and tomatoes have gone into overdrive ! In addition to these the native shrubs have established well and flowers thrown in for colour and bees have appeared and herald a new beginning to the school gardening year.

We are heading in the right direction.
