πͺ΄ that’s just for starters!
Our Year Two gardeners have got stuck in and are loving developing those green fingers! We’ve been busy weeding and preparing our raised beds. We’ve also been planting so many bulbs and seeds, including peas, sunflowers, lupins, gladioli, tulips, and we’ve only just got started!
