Our first picking of calabrese (green broccoli) gave us enough to serve with roast lunch for the WHOLE school, with some to spare for lunches the day before, too! We’re so proud to be supplying fresh, healthy vegetables straight from our garden to the school kitchen.
Our Gardening Club children have been looking after the broccoli since they sowed the seeds, and some of our Year 1 Garden Gang children did a fantastic job of helping us to harvest it and take it to the school kitchen. It’s a proud moment when a few tiny seeds turn into something the whole school can share.
A big thank you to our school cook, Sam, for cooking our freshly picked broccoli and adding it to the menu on both days!
Meanwhile, our purple sprouting broccoli is still growing strong in the polytunnel. It’ll stay there over winter, and we’re looking forward to picking those purple florets in spring!
