Edible Gardens Progress Update
The wheels are in motion!
The proposed area for the Edible Gardens
Across Senior School
The students have:
- Used a map of the school to work out the best location for the Edible garden.
- In groups they have then come up with a concept plan of what it might look like.
- They have looked at:
-suitable plants taking into account
light and temperature
-investigated possible summer
plantings
Hari Narayan (Garden
Facilitator Gardens4Health, Diabetes Projects Trust) visited
our proposed school garden site on Tuesday 17th of March and
conducted soil profile tests. He also took
measurements and photos for the concept plan for our proposed school
garden. Once the concept plan has been
developed Hari, Richard Main (who also works for the trust) and Beryl Oppert
(who also worked with the Enviro Team on the Native Trail) will work with a
group of senior school students and teachers on the Action Plan (what skills do
we need, what could influence the decision, what do we need to find out, what
experts do we need to consult, time line etc).
