Between the showers on Friday, Nuala and her trusty group of helpers planted strawberries, wheat, tomatoes, cress and basil. The tomatoes basil and cress were planted in pots indoors. Second Class planted the strawberry plants outside in the garden in a lovely new container. They were very excited about the Communion on Sunday. Children from the Senior Room planted the wheat in the new beds that are situated near the shed.
