The Greenfingers Gang - Thursdays at 1:45 - All Welcome

Every Thursday, kids keen on gardening are welcome to join The Greenfingers Gang. We meet Mrs Daniel in the Edible Gardens after lunch eating. It's great fun!

Today we weeded the strawberry patch, spread compost and harvested carrots to eat.

I wonder what we'll do next week...

Home School Partnership:

If families would like to contribute raw fruit and vege scraps to the compost bins in the edible garden that would be awesome.

Are you a keen gardener? Mrs Daniel would love help in the Edible Garden. Please share your expertise. Email christined@sunnyhills.school.nz if you can spare some time.
