‘Savage Paradise’

Today many of our gardeners were raring to get back to work on the bug hotel – or ‘Savage Paradise’, as it’s been named. But first we needed to eat lunch (we were glad to have our cosy greenhouse to shelter in on this cold, windy day), and do a few garden jobs. We picked up the litter the wind had blown into our garden, earthed up the potatoes and sprinkled coffee grounds around our vege plants.

Then under the experienced eye of Alan, the sawing and construction began, resulting in some VERY happy gardeners. It was great to see the co-operation and learning going on amidst the excitement.

Meanwhile Lisa helped us plant some bee-friendly flower seeds in tyres near the bulbs we planted last week.

And she bought along a mystery plant that had self-seeded in her compost bin. There were quite a few guesses before we figured out what it was.

Earthing up the potatoes and planting flower seeds.

Cooperating and learning new skills.
