We added some eye-catching pupil-made signs to the garden today, and discovered a few parsnips in the process 😂! It is really time we harvested the last of those luscious looking leeks. A job for tomorrow 😊.

A big thanks to Emma from Learning through Landscapes for all the training, workshops and support provided to our staff and pupils this past year - all made possible through the Local School Nature Grants XL programme 💚🌿.

We have exciting news! Our Gardening Club stars have been chosen as a winner in the Pocket Garden design competition! The competition is run by @KSBScotland in partnership with the Garden for Life Forum.

The challenge was to tell a story through a miniature garden design that uses edible plants and plants that attract wildlife, and to reuse something which would otherwise have been thrown away.

Our S6 @poweringfutures pupils did a brilliant job today presenting their challenge solutions to industry judges👌. Proud of all the progress you have made this year, both individually and in your teams ☺️👏.

Today was all about sustainability in the garden ♻️. We sowed some "green manure" to help replace nutrients in the soil following our recent harvest, and to keep the the soil healthy over the winter months 💚.
