The Community Garden was well looked after by Mr. Hunter and Greg over the holidays. The hot weather didn’t stop the seedings from growing into healthy young plants. We are planning to grow sponge gourd next to the choko (chayote). Please come and join us on Wednesday afternoons during the school term.
