Tuesday March 6th

Hi this is my first blog entry so here goes,
Thanks to Karen Tansey our first 12 tomato seedlings have just reared their heads in the propagator as they say"from tiny acorns".
I first must thank a few people, thankyou Mr Quinn for the kind donations of 1 woodpecker nesting box,1 sparrow nesting box and I think it is four other nesting boxes along with 2 bat boxes for good luck,(hope to have a house warming party later this year).
Must also thank Jackie Bealing for her kind donation of £10.00 look forward to seeing herself Emily and Sam at our Garden party at the end of the school year. Thanks also to B&Q for their donation of £15.00 and Mr Fitzgerald for the donation of £100.00.
These monies will be spent with enthusiasm by us on thursday when we are going on a spending spree to B&Q.
Welcome
I am glad to announce the names of the other members of staff that have decided to come on board and make this gardening club a viable project, welcome to Margaret Salmon whose enthusiasm and organisational skills are much needed, welcome to Andrew Morley whose knowledge of the future plans and improvements to the school and his wish to include our gardening club are much appreciated and we look forward to a bright future. Welcome to Ian Singleton whose knowledge and support of the pupils especially those in"R21"will be an asset to the club,and to Sharon Gaitskell her skills in design and a desire to create some tranquil spaces around the school are also most welcome. Not forgetting all staff in room "21" whose help and support is ongoing.
Thankgoodness all the formalities are over!!

We start going green on Friday lunchtime with our founding members when we will begin with a general clean up and weeding of the areas designated for enhancement.
I will post a further update at the weekend but must not forget to thank two more people , Mrs Hardisty for the donation of a well used but full of character wheelbarrow and Mrs Mc Murdo for various assortments of plant pots and other horticultural equipment.
thanks to all Fiona Lynch
