Growing Schools in Whitley

This is my project blog, following the development of 6 schools gardens as part of the Whitley Excellence Cluster's Aspire project, in Reading. Myself and colleague Dave are working with teachers, school governers and of course the pupils to create school gardens that are healthy, abundant and sustainable landscapes. The project started in March 2006. This is my diary of the work and I hope to encourage pupils to write their own blog for their individual garden projects.

Digging the mulch pit. This pit will act as a soak away for excess rai water collected from the roof of the school hall. The idea is to encourage water to soak down deep in to the soil to create a resevoir to feed the bamboo grove we are planting around it. The collection of golden, black and variagated bamboo's will form a resource for art matierials for the school for generations to come.  Posted by Picasa
