Gardening Attack Update - Summer 2009

We've made a start. As the seasons come and go, we want the gardens to inspire and be a colourful background to the school buildings.

We're hoping to start a gardening club in the Autumn Term to do everything from creating mini-beast castles to growing plants from seed to growing flowers, fruit and vegetables to bat houses.

We hope to have sculptures added to the gardens, and to ask the classes to name their gardens and create a sign for them.

We entered Woking in Bloom and have applied for a grant from the Surrey Garden Trust to help create the Infant and Junior Fruit and Vegetable Plots. Watch this space to see how successful we are.

Thank you to everyone who brought compost in, and for the offers of seeds/plants. Remember anytime you want to help, please garden.


Maintenance Guides

As we progress, more guides will be available.
