 Hi Jannine,
  Think your doing a great job, best of luck with it all .

[ellkebe]

Jeaninne - have packaged up seeds for you so will hopefully get them sent out tomorrow or soon after.  Mainly salad type stuff - pick and eat, cos I thought the children might like grazing  :)  Plus some beans for the pots. 

Would love to see some pictures when it all gets underway (minus the children of course!).

Best of luck - it's a great project.

Hi Jeannine,
Is there any gaps you need filling or anything in particular you are after for the kids garden?  I have some spares that I will happily send to you.  I think projects like this are great and deserve every bit of support!

Hi Jeannine!

Unfortunately I don't have any spare seeds or seedlings because I'm doing SORT of the same thing @ Alfie's nursery school.

We've got 6 raised beds and I've been running sessions with the kids planting all-sorts. They LOVE IT  ;D

What they're most interested in is the herb garden. They love rubbing the leaves between their fingers and smelling them - and of course the strawberry bed is a MAIN attraction!

All my hopes of growing 'straight lines' of potatoes etc. have gone by the wayside. The kids just take their trowels and plant where they like!

It's lovely to watch and they tend to remember what they've planted where and look after their little seedlings of peas and sweetcorn in the classrooms.

Of course Alfie takes over and gives them all his 'expert horticultural advice' but the teachers have learned to keep him in the classroom when I'm doing the planting sessions  ;D

[Jeannine]

Hi gain, Trixie I am pleased that you are doing the same thing nad you sound as though you have much more space than me, we have two large paved areas now with small raised beds in but most of ours will be in pots.   wWe havwe alao has made several raised beds made for the playground areas which are almost finished so the kids will  be doing those to..

Sally I have some stuff on the way still but I think flowers may be the weak area, we have had  some  very nice ones sent  but  more variety would be great  especially perennials,and I personally don't have them to  top up  from my own stuff as I do the veggies as I grow very few flowers. We don't need lots just a few seeds of different ones would be super. However we are very grateful for everything we have been given, the kids were opening stuff today and learning about them, Would you believe I had two kids today who didn't know what a cucumber looked like, their only experience of it was in the new school salad bar  when it is sliced

Trixie. it may be a but late for this year but next year I can probably help you out a bit if you would like some very different toms, I could put a packet of all  different colours  and shapes together for you from my collecttion if you would like them. I can send them this year. We have planted tom seeds today some  funny colours and some basic  very nice regular ones  courtesy of A4A folks.   Kids just don't believe that tomatoes can be white or yellow and the coloured carrotts have made them laugh too.

Thank you all again XX Jeannine

Jeannine,
Sorry Have not yet made it to the post office to send you the wildflower seeds.

Little uns have come down with chickenpox, which is slowing me down a bit.

Hope to do it by the w/e.

No probs Steve, keep dabbing that calamine on the littlies XX Jeannine

Flowers, found some including wall flowers if you want to teach them patience and marigolds for keeping bugs at bay
also seed saving  and cutting flowers so they can give their teacher a big bunch end of term. Also good to draw .
