WPS Community Children’s Garden

Weeds! Weeds! and more weeds!

Luckily some of the weeds popping up where they’re not supposed to be are garden escapees, such as raspberries. After weeding the grass out of the raspberry beds, we potted up raspberries growing in the paths. Some of these went home with excited students, while others went into the collection to be sold at the Carlsruhe Fair.

not many kids, so we get to use the big tools

hunt for raspberry plants among the weeds

As National Bird Week was 19-25 Oct, we took some time out from gardening to focus our ears and eyes to see what birds we could discover in the garden.
