Green Team Tales

Thanks to the generous donation from Kylie at the Plant Bug Mt Colah, the Green Team were able to purchase seedlings to grow in the two new gardens. At the end of last term, we planted broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and snowpeas.  In the original gardens we planted radishes. A citrus tree donated by Hornsby Shire Council,  was also planted in a large tub.

On the last Friday of Term 1, five Green Team members harvested and sold rocket, thyme, chives, lemongrass, parsley, lettuce and basil to parents and teachers. The money raised is going towards a storage shed for the equipment and supplies the Green Team uses to plant and harvest fruit, herbs and vegetables.

Feel free to look at our fruit, vegetable and herb gardens.
