Day 7 Danger is everywhere.
-
Back to the community garden, Emily had a list of jobs so she introduced the group to their allocated tasks. Emily had been asked to go to a CPR awareness course at the Fire Station, laid on by the Fire service. Always a handy skill to know if in the garden, especially if you are with 'more experienced' gardeners. The Fire Service also expressed the dangers of fire raising in a rural setting and how this could impact on those living and working in the area. We had time to continue the work at the garden and found some interesting creatures, that gave us an opportunity to discuss the ecosystem and the importance that they played. The garden is moving fast into production and they will use the no dig method, the pupils were aware of this as it the method used by Paul they met last week. Highlight of the day was finding out Sophie is a bit scared of spiders! Today we also said goodbye to Kirsty, she has been implemental in setting up the groups over the past four, I think years. Thank you for putting up with me it has been a pleasure.
