It's always fun to be in the garden exploring new and exciting environments. This week I've had the pleasure of working in 2 schools. Both are preparing for the Pumpkin Carnival and both have different challenges to overcome.
At one school, convolvulus over took the pumpkins over the holidays and so a new source of pumpkin plants had to be found. At the other school, the pumpkins grew however someone took off the pumpkin and has been cutting the flower heads off. Either way, the children are not deterred from growing or from entering the event.
At one school a small team of 2 are trying to recruit their friends for more manpower and thinking. At the other school, a team of 20 - 40 turn up once a week. Either way, both are a privilege to work in.
As I sat in the garden at lunch watching the Monarchs, seeing the seeds disperse in the wind and talking about Monarchs are flicky bugs (name yet to be sourced) an excited and eager to learn student continued to be inspired and both of us are looking forward to another day in the garden.
