School Garden Needful Things

(above: flowers bloom last fall in the school garden)


The Puntledge School Garden already has many tools available for volunteers, students and teachers to use, pretty much everything we need to start and maintain a garden for the season. However, here is a wish list of needful things. Keep in mind that there will be someone (such as myself) to water during the summer months so the school will still have a productive garden well into the fall and even the winter, which means we can grow so many more things other than spring veg. Thanks!



--Seeds: vegetable and non-toxic flowers

--Seedlings: veggie starts, etc

--Concrete "stepping stones" for the students to walk on as they explore the gardens

--Strawberry plants (the existing ones are old)

--Native plants (this list is to be explained in the near future; however, I am keen on getting native spring flower bulbs to be planted this fall[?])

--Gardening gloves, especially smaller and/or children's size for the students

--Interesting books on gardening, plants, bugs, for children

I will probably be approaching local garden centres for donations for the harder to locate items, as well.
