Beans, beans, glorious beans! The first day back for Term 4 began with a merry and plentiful harvest of the green beans in Little Patch. Some were washed and eaten on the spot, and some were taken by volunteers and transformed into tasty Italian salads. In other garden goodness, School Plus staff and students harvested and bagged the lettuce crop in Little Farm for families to take home and enjoy. 

A big thank you to all the students, parents and community members who volunteered at the October 7th working bee. It was a great turn out and so productive. We had tastings for our upcoming range of herb salts, filled up the beds with crushed mushroom substrate, planted corn, beans and tomatoes, prepped the pots for our vertical edible flower garden, fed the citrus bed, made a ‘lasagne’ in the green waste bin, tidied up the shed and more. One of our young volunteers also took time to sit quietly and write poetry inspired by peas and purple potatoes.

The next working bee is Saturday November 4^th from 3-5pm. All are welcome.
