Trip to Garden Centre

Last Wednesday we went a trip to Glue’s Garden Centre. This was to help us understand how to grow and harvest our own food. Thankfully we managed to miss most of the heavy rain showers and stay relatively dry! Kirsten gave us a talk about how we should plant seeds and how to look after them properly. We all had to listen very carefully so we knew what to do when we planted our own seeds. Kirsten then let us choose a packet of vegetable seeds for us to grow. This was a hard decision for some of us as there was a lot of choice.

In the afternoon we had to prove how well we had listened as it was our turn to plant the seeds.

We remembered that the soil had to be rubbed through to make sure there were no lumps in it.

 

We had to make a little hole in the soil with our finger for the seed to go in.

 

  

Then we had to cover the seeds with more soil.

Finally we added a little water to the seed. We had to be careful and not put too much water in or the seeds would drown and not grow.

 

We will now keep checking and watering our seeds to see if they grow!
