Term 4 is shaping up to be a busy time in the garden as we get ready for the summer season. 

Grade 3/4 students have started off by clearing out Spring weeds, adding compost and mulching our garden beds with straw to protect the soil. 

We have also been learning to mix up our own super seed raising mix! We started with standard potting mix then added compost for extra nutrients and perlite to provide oxygen to the plant roots. Can’t wait to use it to plant our new seeds.

Remember that we are always looking for parent and community volunteers to assist with our program, either by helping with garden classes on Fridays, doing jobs around the garden or caring for our chickens in the school holidays. To get involved contact joanna@cultivatingcommunity.org.au
