Garden Highlights 🌱🎄

One of our rainbow chard seedlings certainly embraced the festive spirit this term and surprised us all by growing into a Christmas-tree-sized plant, almost as tall as Miss Marg! It quickly became a talking point in the garden and brought plenty of smiles and laughter to our students.

Removing the oversized chard turned into a true team effort, with our junior students eagerly lending a hand to pull it out and make space for our upcoming summer planting. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about plant growth, teamwork and preparing garden beds for the next season.

In true Cowwarr fashion, nothing went to waste. Some of the plant material was added to our compost, while the rest found a new purpose as feed for one of our student’s cows and chickens. A fantastic real-life lesson in sustainability, responsibility and caring for our environment and a reminder that learning happens everywhere, even in the garden!
