Potatoes and Poppies


By the end of Term 1 we had weeded all the vegetable and flower beds. New seeds and seedlings were planted. The Holey Fathers gave up their time to clear the paths and do planting in the up top gardens. Andrea brought in seed potatoes and leeks for us to plant. We are all looking forward to leek and potato soup when they are harvested. 

We have had an ANZAC garden for the last few years but the  exciting addition of three poppy sculptures makes it a very special place at Good Shepherd School. Thanks to Lisa Paniora for organising the the purchase of the poppies and cementing them into the garden. We scattered lots of poppy seeds around the garden so hopefully in spring it will look even more impressive!
