# Growing, Tidying, Planting…and Popcorn!

**What a busy Gardening Club session – we packed so much in!**

 **We’ve sown an incredible 100 pots of sunflower seeds as part of a community project, inspired and planned by the children to add even more colour and cheer to our local village .**

**The children also put our fabulous new rakes from Draper Tools to good use, our mini “grown-up” versions, already hard at work on their summer job, tidying up the cut grass in our garden area and then adding it straight to our compost bays.**

**We also planted lots more seeds, and our polytunnel is really starting to fill up – it’s looking amazing in there!**

**The young gardeners were also hard at work continuing to sift compost for another BIG project - watch this space!**

**And if that wasn’t enough… we cooked popcorn on the stove using some of last year’s corn harvested by the children. Safe to say it was a big thumbs up from everyone in Gardening Club!**

**A brilliant session all round!**
