On Sunday, families and friends of APS came along to help dig, weed, transplant and build our school vegetable garden. It was a marvellous day. With all hands on deck, large and small, the garden was transformed.

There is now a new hose, five new garden beds, a vertical herb and strawberry garden, and a trench with natural log edging for sunflowers. The olive tree was transplanted from its small pot, into the garden outside the kindergarten building, where we hope it will thrive and produce lots of fruit. The fig tree was also transplanted. Children planted many seeds at the “Welcome Seed Station” and while some were taken home, students of all ages look forward to planting the rest in our new garden beds.

A big thank you to Artarmon P&C for funding the Gardening Bee, Caitriona Blake for her amazing organisation, Tania Gesler for her assistance in facilitating on the day and all our wonderful helpers for their hard work. We look forward to enjoying this space and are excited for all the new growth our garden will bring. Thank you again for your continuous support.
