The Incredible Silver Birch IV

Active Learning is once again at the forefront of our planning and thinking and with the sun high in the sky and sun block thick on our skins we worked under the supervision of the fantastic gardeners at Silver Birch. Working in small teams using Hoses to gather water and watering cans we learned the important of watering these very thirsty plants! We learned that the pumpkins can be use for Soups, Pies and other Savoury Dishes! We also learned that they would take centre stage in the Silver Birch Halloween Nights, carved and lit on Halloween and all in the name of Stingy Jack!! We learned about the benefits of Silver Birch Mushroom Compost and seen first hand the process that it goes through to eventually produce a beautiful dark and smooth product. To see this and to spend the day with such truly excellent people was inspiring and we talked of this as we 'reluctantly' made our way onto the minibus and to our next learning adventure!!! Thanks to everyone at Silver Birch for your generosity and kindness!!! #Inspirational
