Week 2 Produce from the Green



Growing season in the garden !

Swiftly accompanied by harvesting !





Year 9/10 had fun reusing old gelato containers from Ms Smith to collect a bit of what is on offer in our School Garden this week. We spread the love and shared it out with whomever wanted this surplus ! Across the school menus florished !











See our previous posts to see how far we have come !

Greening Up over the Wet Summer

The kids may be off on their annual well earned break from school after all those hard months of learning, but HalindaGreen just keeps on working.

This wet summer makes growing easy !

Our School Garden is going burgeoning. In our third year we have more vegetables than ever being produced and it is only going to get busier out on HalindaGreen when school returns. But for now over the New Year Holiday the garden is soaking up sun and rain and filling with productive energy.

Garden Bed by D 9/10 Students

Posted by Picasa

Workers work the Green

Glamourous it ain't shoveling a new batch of dirt,wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow. But D9/10 have made two bail garden beds on the green in the last two weeks and filled them with soil.

Our students are the true quiet achievers of the green and they work hard to make a home for new plants that they tend, then pluck and cook up in the kitchen. Phillip got stuck in and shoveled load after load. Hayden wheeled loads into the new beds. Michael and Dylan shared a spade and dug in ! Sam kept up the dirt load for load with the boys. Joel topped up the barrel tanks by hose. Joshua watered in the newly planted seedlings, bed by bed. An hour and half later on some of the steamiest days in November so far the beds are ready to produce !

They were thirsty, they were hungry, but they got the job done.
