Liam and his father have now completed both raised beds and lined them with plastic so the moisure doesn’t soak into the wood.They have done a fantastic job and we are soooo pleased!!!We are now waiting on topsoil to arrive and we will begin filling them and mixing in the compost.

Meanwhile, we are busy transplanting herbs and growing seeds in the school ready for planting in the beds. So far, we have parsley, chives, mint,thyme,rosemary,cabbage, shallots and lettuce and we intend to add loads more!
