Our garden has grown: this term we have taken some brilliant ideas from the delightful publication Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots

Our Roots and Shoots club has grown from 5 members to 14 this term. We have had to think about what we can all get involved in for the next 8 weeks without crowding the original tyre garden (which, by the way is doing beautifully). We have been given a lovely patch of ground adjacent to Tyre Garden, and this is where we will lay out our "Pizza Garden". This will be in the circular shape of a pizza with "slices" of planting zones in which we will grow fresh herbs and veggies organically. Each club member is also going to recycle 2 litre plastic  bottles to create a hanging garden of planters. This is just another experiment in growing useful plants in a small space. If you can't spread out your gardening in a large sunny area, then why not go "Up" and start gardening vertically?
