2013 Tui School Challenge Finalists!
As one of 3 finalist in this Years Tui School Challenge, we were delighted to welcome Brian from Tui back to our Garden...we couldn't wait to show him how much everything had grown and progressed in the 14 months since we started the garden last winter...
Such an occasion required some Warrior Hopsitatlity...so what was on the menu this week Garden Warriors?
Naan bread cooked on our new BBQ to team with freshly prepared Warrior "Rocket" pesto
Freshly harvested radish & baby carrots to dip in Annabel Langbein's "Smoked Paprika Aioli" (p59 #afreerangelife)
Plenty of heat in that menu Warrior's!
Baby carrots were harvested complete with handy fluffy green handles...
White & red radish were sought out in our "Tasting Table"....
..a quick rinse & everything was ready to eat...
Grating parmesan for the pesto and peeling our own carrots were very popular activities...our Head Garden Gnome is going to go and buy more of both tools!
Great to see the multipurpose rimu chopping/serving boards well utilised!
Not only do we grow our own food here at Westport North School ...but we literally eat it off pieces of our school!
It all disappeared rather rapidly...next time we need to make a triple mixture of naan dough!
Looks like Brian managed to fit in just fine!
Being selected as just one of three finalists in the Primary School Category of the Tui School Challenge, is a HUGE achievement Garden Warriors!
Wonderful recognition of our achievements over the last 14 months together!
You are definitely a bunch of "Tall Poppies" worthy of recognition!
What a wonderful Garden Session, and such charming hosts!
I hear that some of you have already carefully planted your "Tall Poppy" seeds as soon as you got home, and that there are "Cultivating Excellence" certificates stuck on fridges all around town!
Just remember fine seeds barely need covering with seed raising mix, planting depth is roughly twice the size of the seed!
This summer there should be beds of "Tall Poppies" popping up all around town!
Well done Garden Warriors!
It was wonderful to have you back in our Garden this summer Brian, everyone enjoyed hosting you again!
Looks like our Flower Fairy has waved her floral wand in your direction...
