Watering Our Garden

Following Mondays planting, the Planet Savers took the opportunity to look at the new plants and provide some much needed TLC with the upcoming warmer weather!
The Planet Savers were thrilled to see all the new plants, even remincing on their first experiences with planting at Findon. One year five student remembered beginning the bush food garden in year 3 and was impressed to see how much it had developed.

Each student had a watering can or a bucket between two. As a team, we discussed how much water these new plants needed. A third of a bucket was a reasonable amount of water for each plant. The Planet Savers also discussed the impact of the recent hot days on the growth of the plants.

This session provided a great opportunity for reflection. Students were able to see the positive impacts of caring for plants over an extended period of time. The main concerns the Planet Savers raised for caring for these Indienous plants were eliminating any rubbish from the area and ensuring all new and existing plants were watered.
