This week our Garden Warriors launched our inaugural "Giant Pumpkin Competition"!
Can anyone recognise which Garden Warriors these two pumpkin cuties have grown into?
Our "Garden Facilitator" was rather delighted to find these in her archives, complete with subtly placed "Tui" bags as well!
Over the long weekend two of our most faithful Warrior Families prepared 16 Pumpkin Contest invitations, complete wtih seeds and growing tips.
A HUGE thank you goes out to Decor Greenworld in Tauranga, for generously sharing their magic seeds with us.
We have sent out invites with seeds to all the primary and preschools in the region. We have also sent some special invites to our local Rest home residents, Garden Centre, Mitre 10 and a couple of other local businesses.
It is our aim to create an "Event" to introduce our wider community to the magic that has been created in our Westport North School Garden. We are hoping for a bit of a Pumpkin themed Twilight Gala at the end of Term 1. Hot pumpkin soup will be on offer, as will toasted pumpkin seeds and other garden delights! WE endeavour to gain some sponsorship for prizes for the Largest, ugliest, best dressed, heaviest and smallest pumpkins...so keep logging into our blog for pumpkin progress reports!
Our Warrior's planted their special seeds on Friday... and now we need to put a few more seaweedy, composty initiatives into place, ready to feed our pumpkins! Our local nursery assures us they have just the right top secret fertiliser mix to be major players... we are however,not discounting the collective centuries of Gardening Experience our lovely Rest home Residents can bring to the competition!
