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.

Fungi growing out of the straw mulch. We prepared these beds back in the summer, sheet mulching out the grass of the playing field with a thick layer of straw and manure. Now we have finally had some rain it is starting to break down nicely. We will be planting directly into this, with plants well established in pots, planted into plugs of compost in the sheet mulch. Posted by Picasa
