Le Jardin des Herbes Français!

Have you noticed the French herb garden we planted late last year?

It is blooming in abundance! C'est merveilleux!

In the garden, you will notice, olives on the olive trees, bushes of parsley, sprigs of thyme, a rainbow of silverbeet and a trailing pumpkin patch. The cos lettuce keeps sprouting and it looks like our creepy crawly friends are enjoying the kale. Here are some staff picking a bunch or two for dinner. 

Bon appétit!

Say bonjour to Harry Highpants!

He now lives in the BPS French Herb Garden.

Harry is the BPS Sustainable Scarecrow Art Competition Entrant at The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. 

Congratulations Ms McDonald, Ms Browne and Gr 6 Leadership Art Team.

Good luck with the People's Choice votes!

Now let's hope Harry gets to work quickly, protecting the growth of the curly kale.

Les Madames vous souhaite un Joyeuse Paques et Bonne Fete!
