We are very lucky to have such a wonderful school garden in Mount Hanover. The children are always fully involved in all the work that goes on and they ensure the garden is always looking well under the guidance of Ms O’Loughlin and parent volunteers. We have vegetable boxes, fruit trees, a sensory garden filled with lovely aromas and much more. The garden is filled with colour, with brightly painted fences and tyres. Our garden also contains a water butt which we use to collect rainwater. This rainwater is then used to water the garden thus ensuring we are conserving water as much as possible.
Our school garden is entered into the Meath County Council Pride of Place competition and we have reached Level 4 in the competition. The school garden group work extremely hard maintaining what is already there and also extending and further developing the vegetable garden and sensory garden.
Lots of great work being done in our school garden over the past week.
We planted ‘Sunflower Seeds’ as part of our work on living things. We are excited to see what happens over the coming weeks!
How lovely it is to see the bright spring flowers blooming in our school garden.
We are looking for parent volunteers to help out with the school garden.
If you can give some time towards this please contact Ms. O’Loughlin or Suzanne Bellew.
We plant an array of fruit and vegetables. we also inspect and encourage insects and their ecosystems. We look forward to lots of green fingers and exciting new projects in our garden.
We would like to thank everyone throughout the years that has helped us in developing our wonderful garden!
