Our Green Schools committee delivered our Wheelbarrow Gardens down to the Dalkey Church gardens where they were displayed with barrows from six other local schools. They made for an amazing display and were admired by many passers by. We really enjoyed the experience overall and would like to thank Anna Fox from the Dalkey Creates festival and the wheelbarrow sponsors for getting us involved with this project. Take a look at the pictures below:

We completed the planting of mustard seeds and green manure in our second wheelbarrow which can be viewed in our school garden. The Wheelbarrow Garden is part of an initiative for the Dalkey Creates Festival in October. Our wheelbarrows, along with others planted and tended to by local schools, will be wheeled into town at midday on Friday 20th October and will remain on view in Dalkey Church Garden over the festival weekend. We are really looking forward to seeing how our seeds develop over the next month!
