Gardening Club
Wed 12 Nov 2014Get Your Grown Ups Growing
After School Gardening Club
Our very first Garden Club takes place this Thursday and we are really looking forward to
seeing you and your Grown Ups there. Please remember to bring with you:
Old, warm clothes, wellies or strong shoes, waterproofs (in case of light rain—we’ll be inside
if it pours down)
Gardening gloves and hand tools (if you and your Grown Up already have them)
It would be really great if you could have a think about what you would like to see in your School
Garden and even better if you have time to draw a colourful picture that we can put up in the
garden… perhaps a flower, fruit or vegetable, your favourite minibeast or a garden bird.
Being autumn, there’s not much colour in the garden at the moment and your drawings would
really brighten it up! Grown-ups should collect you from your usual door at 3.10pm.
