#Year1 #Year1and2 #Year2 worked in the #edibleplayground this morning. They explored different recycled containers to plant broad beans and radish seeds. Thank you to Ali from @GrowCardiff for all the great ideas you shared with us at the @TreesforCities growing event.

Nursery children looked at photos of lettuces and then identified them in our Edible Playground. They harvested them, washed them, and then enjoyed them with a bit of salad cream! The cucumber and tomatoes are from our Edible Playground too. @GrowCardiff @csc_stem @CSC_Wellbeing

Year 4 watched a programme about how carrots are harvested on farms, then went outside and harvested ours. We roasted them - they were delicious! @GrowCardiff @csc_stem

Year 4 harvested our Edible Playground cucumbers. Some were green and some were yellow. We peeled and sampled them. 'Fresh', 'juicy', 'sour' and 'refreshing' were the most-used words to describe them. @GrowCardiff @CSC_langlitcomm @CSC_Wellbeing

Today, we got to visit the #YoungMarketeers at @boroughmarket who were selling some incredible, fresh produce as part of the @sfmtweet's programme.

They grew all the veg themselves with their Edible Playgrounds. Amazing to see their hard work become fruitful, a huge well done!

Wow!!! We were able to pick lots of fresh strawberries, rhubarb and broad beans from the garden. We’re looking forward to making our crumble tomorrow in Gardening club! @PinehurstP @TreesforCities @appleofmyeyepl @PinehurstPYewY2 #PinehurstScience

Keen gardeners from Baker Class visited the #EdiblePlayground to plant some onion sets. Fingers crossed for a bumper crop! Watch this space… @TreesforCities #outdoorlearning

We had such a great time looking for mini beasts this morning. We learnt all about which mini beasts are good for the garden and which are bad for the garden 🐜 🐞 @TreesforCities @GrowCardiff

[St Denis’ Primary @St_Denis_PS]

A huge thank you to Allys from @TreesforCities for sharing the plans for our future Edible Playground with the children at assembly this morning! 🍓🍎🥬🥒

What have year 3 "bean" learning in science? How bean plants grow, from germination through to the strong plants they are becoming. Next step is to plant them in our edible playground. @TfCschoolteam

[ElthamCE @ElthamCE]

Our Year 5 gardeners collected herbs from our Edible Playground this week and sold them for 50p per bag after school. A great way to raise money for more seeds and gardening resources. @TfCschoolteam
