The Botanical Gardens

After our excursion to the Melbourne Botanical Garnden these were the images left in our minds.

How to plant a Blue Devil.

Looking after our plants.

We use grey water to water our plants.

Today we had to decide whether we wanted to take our plants home. Some people took theirs home and others put the soil from their plant on other plants to help them grow. We really enjoyed doing our gardening and hope we can plant more fruits, vegetables, plants, trees and grasses next year.

What we think about gardening by JSG

“I liked collecting the leaves for the bottom of the foam boxes. I think we should take them home and plant them at home and grow our own vegie patch.” – Callum

“I planted carrots but i think they may die because they look brown and a bit yellow. I think it might need some fertiliser. I have to do a lot of caring because my partner is on holidays. They might survive the holidays.” – Hamish 

“My plant is growing really well and i think it needs watering. In my box our scarecrow has been blown over because it was really strong wind in Winter because it rains a lot and it is really stormy. My favourite part was planting the broccoli.”- Oliver

“I enjoy gardening because it makes us learn stuff like how to grow plants and vegies and some fruit.”- Dilllon

“I like gardening because you can have fun and get dirty. And you can eat new things. I think our plants are very dry and need more water so they can grow well and we can eat.” – Duncan 

“I like gardening because you can see how big they grow.”- Jack

“JSG has been planting lot’s of vegetables and I’ve been planting carrots. I’m thinking of planting lettuce next year but it’s going to take a long time.” – Jessica
