Our Beachcomber Garden

Our Beachcomber vegetable garden is in need of some new plants.  After lots of discussions with children about what we should plant a small group headed off to Palmers Garden Centre to buy seeds and seedlings. 

When we got there we noticed lots of different types of plants and lots of different smells from the flowers.  Each of us had a card with the name of a vegetable we needed to find.  We helped each other and looked at the letters on the card to find what we needed.  Into our shopping baskets went the plants and seed packets.

We soon headed back to kindergarten and showed our friends what we had bought.  Over the next week we worked busily to prepare and plant our vegetable garden.

A few weeks later we were very lucky to receive a donation of lots of strawberry plants from our local Bunnings store, we got busy planting them into our colourful barrels. Everyone chose a plant and waited for their turn to plant it. We noticed that some of the plants had white flowers and some even had little strawberries on them. As they were being planted we could see all the roots in the soil. 

We are excited about watching our garden grow over the nest few months.
