Rosebank Schools Fruit and Vegetable

Garden

To build the garden we needed all the equipment required

Michelle and Jane showed us the different types of fruit trees we would grow

Next we had to dig 5 deep holes

We removed the packaging and planted the trees

We planted the trees and added a stake

We then watered the trees

In the sandpit area we added potting mix to the planter boxes

Jane explained how to take the vegetables out of their punnets.

Mrs Bell came to visit us and was pleased with our work

Here are some of the vegetables we planted

Once they were in the planter box we had to water them

We added Quash an organic insect killer

We dug out the weeds and added a mixture of winter vegetables

Thank you to everyone who participatedmaking this all possible
