On Thursday 29th March, Lizzie and Natasha decided to pop by the school and see how the meadow was doing. Lizzie had been growing a lot of flowers for the meadow for months at home and decided it was about time to transport them to the school as they were starting to grow and take over her garden. The car was full!!
On arrival to the school, we used Mr Wileman's trusty trolley to get all of the flowers over to the meadow. It was then time for the planting to begin. We had placed all of the flowers around the borders of the pathways so that the whole meadow would eventually (hopefully!!) be covered in bright flowers!
After planting all of the flowers, we decided that the grass was growing more sparse than we had hoped... We are hoping that this is to do with it being so cold and recently having snow, however just in case we scattered some more seed over the area to help give the grass and wildflower a bit of a boost. Hopefully next time we visit, things will have started to make greater progress!
We are all looking forward to getting back into the project and adding the finishing touches! The tree bench will hopefully be getting installed shortly and we will be able to make a start of creating wind chimes and bird feeders.
