Over 30 people turned up to our Family Learning Day today. We had a great mix of local people and school families which made the day a great success. By lunchtime we had made loads of paper pots from newspaper, tried our hand at flower arranging, learnt to take cuttings from a plant, constructed bean poles and planted out peas and beans, sown onions in rows, put out the cauliflowers and finally watered EVERYTHING! BUSY!
We then had a chance to open up the Learning Cabin and take a step inside. Everyone was very impressed adn loved the smell of the new wood.
Everyone then got fed and watered and started to make their way home. The ones left over did a great job of clearing up and I thank you muchly!
Those who stayed helped to create our fabulous new entrance area. It was great to see it turn from a small dumping ground to a clear open space lined with woodchip and flowers. We even filled some more old wheelbarrows with flowers and created a pallet planter.
All in all a fantastic day. And it only spat a little rain from the sky. Sunny with showers but smiles all round :D
