Garden Fairies

At the end of last year the Garden Warriors from Room 7 planted up this planter box outside their classroom. They used Seedlings raised in our garden from Kings Seeds "Butterfly Mix".

 When they started back at school last week Room 7 were greeted by this wonderful display!

The success of Room 7's butterfly mix was such that the other planter boxes outside our classrooms looked a little lack lustre...so it was that our Principal called in the "Garden Fairies" over the summer break to work some magic...

Cinneririas in shades of purple and blue mixed with silver foliage now grace the main entrance...

Geraniums flanked by Pansies and lobellia are set to add mass colour to the classrooms!

A HUGE thanks to Tui for the bags of potting mix that were used to rejuvenate each planter box, and the Novatech slow release fertiliser to give our colour a growth boost!

 

Garden Warriors will now make it an annual habit to grow "Butterfly Mix" ready for planting out at the end of the school year...ready to greet everyone starting back at school in the New Year in full rioting colour!
