 Cork School Garden 2023 focus on Gaelscoil an Chaisleáin N.S


This week we focus on Gaelscoil an Chaisleáin N.S who were Best in Category Winners. The judges were very impressed by your colorful garden and the great use of every space. "We were also delighted with the knowledge of the children. The weeding, upcycling and bee friendly measures are very impressive. The garden was resplendant the day of our visit with plenty of colour from recycled materials. The garden is well planned and cared for. Labeling and use of Irish was excellent. Very good use of upcycling colour and art. The Polytunnel is a great asset and the natural raised beds made from sods was very novel indeed. Great overall Garden.   Please consider installing a water butt to harvest water from the roof. Composting grass cuttings would help improve soil in the future."

 

Congratulations to all involved at  Gaelscoil an Chaisleáin N.S

  Cork School Garden 2023 focus on Castlelyons N.S This week we focus on Castlelyons N.S who were Best in Category Winners.  The judges were very impressed that  t he garden is developing and maturing nicely." The enthusiasm and knowledge of the children was amazing. Labeling and use of Irish was excellent. Very good use of upcycling colour and art and we loved the wildflower area and the wildflower meadow.   Great overall Garden.  The soil could benefit from some conditioning mulching and maturing in some places and we look forward to seeing your plans for a nature trail come to fruition. Also consider more water harvesting near your beds. Keep up great work."   Congratulations to all involved at Castlelyons N.S For more Information on the School Gardens Competition  Click Here   Enter for 2024 here    https://forms.gle/ eniRw7MbRoUdmjYe7
