PLANTING FOR POLLINATORS


After a long winter spring is finally here. To welcome our pollinator friends back after their winter hibernation we decided to plant some food for them on our school grounds....


We filled window boxes and our car tyre planters with soil...




...and planted lots of delicious herbs and edible flowers.





We planted some Lavender, Mint, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Calendula and Nasturtiums. These plants produce nectar and pollen for pollinating insects and they are all edible too! ... We will surely have a taste when they have grown a bit bigger.


.... and after some heavy lifting...


We are proud to show you our finished work...




Come join us and get planting too !!!
