Green Fingers!

Yes, we certainly have been getting our hands dirty over the past week!! Since sourcing all the seeds and seedlings from the garden centre the children have been buzzing about gardening and planting!

Our lily bulb that was kindly donated to us by Sharon at the garden centre has gone in a pot. We have also planted seeds, which many of the children have taken home to care for, before bringing them back to kindy to become fully established in our garden plots. And we have also been propagting beans just like the story "Five Beans". My goodness we have been busy!!!

...what do all plants need to grow again?? Oh yeah, that's right...water, sun and lots of love :)!

It was very exciting to come back to kindy today after the weekend and see tiny shoots sprouting from the bean seeds!!! Make sure you keep an eye on them as they continue to grow. I wonder if we can grow a beanstalk like Jack???

A walking we did go...a planting we will do!

What an adventure!!

With the arrival and assembly of our new vegetable plots Judy and I thought we had better source some seeds. So....an excursion was on the agenda.

We talked about what we might plant in the garden

...sunflowers

...carrots

...peas

...broccoli

Oh yea...and beans! I wonder if we can grow a beanstalk?

Then off we went, it's was so awesome to see everyone keeping themselves super safe, especially when we crossed the roads!! Well done everybody.

The fish were definitely the highlight of the trip and many of the children congregated around the pond. How many were there again?? Probably not as many now as there was when we arrived :) oops!

Guess what we will be busy doing for the next few weeks with all our seeds, seedlings, fertiliser, and dirt. And how cool, Sharon the Garden Centre owner donated some Lily bulbs for the Kindy too.

Can't wait!
