Kitchen Garden

                                       4S enjoyed a glorious winters afternoon in the garden. 

Activities for the afternoon: 

Potting up self seeded marigold and silverbeet seedlings.

Learning how to use the flower press. 

Replenishing a garden bed with seamungus, blood and bone and sheep poo. 

Filling compost browns stations and shovelling compost into tubs. 

Chopping and chatting- learning how to use garden loppers and snips to cut up spent broccoli plants. 

Setting up our mushroom kit from Australian Mushroom Growers Association. 

Thank you to our wonderful parent and grandparent helpers. The garden was a hive of activity. 

The Science Fair is on from 4-6pm Monday 12th August (Week 5), and we will have the kitchen garden market cart set up with fresh produce, preserves and other garden goodies for sale. There will also be a sausage sizzle and bake stall.

Kitchen Garden Helpers

We warmly welcome parents, grandparents and carers to help with activities during our kitchen garden sessions for the grade 3 and 4 students. It's a great way to connect with your children and the WEPS community, and you might even learn some new gardening and cooking tips! To volunteer, you must have a current working with children's check and sign in at the office. You child doesn't need to be participating in the kitchen garden program for you to volunteer.  For more information regarding session times etc, contact your child's teacher or email suzanne.seniore@education.vic.gov.au
