On the last Tuesday of term, Mr. Murphy and his super enthusiastic team of helpers turned the school garden into a place of excitement and learning! They had a blast planting dragon fruit cuttings, which will grow into cool, spiky fruits in the future.
But that’s not all! They also picked a bunch of yummy veggies like eggplants, beans, and herbs. The garden was bursting with colours and delicious smells, thanks to all their hard work.
This wasn’t just about gardening; it was a day full of fun and teamwork. Everyone enjoyed planting and picking, learning lots about how plants grow. The best part? Seeing the results of their hard work and sharing laughs and smiles all day long.
Mr. Murphy and his team did an amazing job! They made the school garden look fantastic and gave everyone a chance to learn something new.
As the term ends, everyone is already excited for more garden fun next term. There will be new projects and more chances to learn and grow together.
Fun Tips for Growing Dragon Fruit
- Sunny Spot: Dragon fruit plants love the sun! Find a sunny spot in your garden where they can soak up lots of sunlight.
- Climbing Fun: These plants like to climb, so give them a strong pole or trellis to grow on.
- Watering Time: Water your dragon fruit plants regularly, but don’t give them too much. The soil should be just right – not too wet and not too dry.
- Yummy Plant Food: Feed your plants with a balanced fertilizer every couple of months to help them grow big and strong.
- Trim and Tidy: Keep your plant healthy by trimming away any dead or broken branches. This helps the plant get more light and air.
Great job, everyone! Here’s to more fun and adventures in the garden next term!
