Gardening newsletter

It’s mid spring and we’re all working hard in the SAKG garden to prepare for a thriving summer plot. F-2 classes have been planting seedlings and making their own seed raising mix, the 3/6s have been maintaining the garden while the 5/6s have been propagating a huge variety of summer crops by seed. We’re looking forward to being able to cook with the food we grow in our new SAKG kitchen!

Watering volunteers needed

As it is going to be a particularly dry spring and summer, we’re kindly asking for volunteers to help keep the garden watered. Most of our garden is on a timed irrigation system, however the drip system doesn’t meet all plants so it needs additional hand watering to meet its needs. Plants can be watered during pick up or drop off on weekdays. Follow this link for more information and to sign up:

If you have any questions or would like more information, contact Claire by emailing the office at montmorency.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Punnets and seedling trays needed

Our students are busy propagating seeds to grow seedlings to sell back to the community. We are grateful for any donations of empty and clean seedling punnets, seedling trays or small pots.

Thursdays soup and seedling sale at Monty Mini Market

During the start of Term 4 our delicious student-run soup sale will continue until the weather heats up. Students will also be selling a variety of seedlings and some produce from the garden at bargain prices. Hope to see you there!
