The Final Harvest

Today Melissa and Alex harvested the final batch of vegetables for the year from the school garden. They then distributed the harvest to several of our school families.

The school garden has been a huge success in 2009. The Enviro Club is looking forward to getting back into it in 2010.

Celebrating Our Success

The Enviro Club celebrated their success with the school garden this afternoon with lunch at Lansdowne Nursery. Marilyn showed the group how to make a pie using ingredients from the school garden.

A huge thank you to Marilyn for all of her support this year. We are very lucky to have someone in our community who is so supportive of Lakeview School. Thank you also to Victoria from the Wairarapa DHB for her ideas and support with the school garden. We couldn't have achieved the success that we have had without Marilyn and Victoria. We are looking forward to having both back to help out in 2010.

We will do our best to keep the garden going over the school holidays and look forward to geeting back into it again next year.

The Enviro Club harvested the first load of vegetable produce from the school vegetable garden this afternoon. Vegetables have been given to school families. We hope that those that got them enjoy the fruits of the Enviro Club's work!

A huge thank you to Victoria (from the Wairarapa DHB) and Marilyn (from Lansdowne Nursery) for their input and support in the journey we have had in creating and harvesting the school garden. We couldn't have done it without them!

We also spent time planting our first potato crop. We are looking forward to having the same success with these that we have had with our first vegetable harvest.
