Stream Restoration

 Today we formed a human chain and shifted nearly a trailer load of woodchips in the stream area. It was great to have our very own working bee.

Baked Potatoes. We were thrilled Yum!

We were thrilled when the enviro group and other helpers baked potatoes for us from our school garden!

They put sour cream and chives on them, yum!

Putting In Our Water Tank

Dan is up the ladder clearing the spouting to see if we can use it to capture rainwater.
 We are thrilled to have Matt, Ed's Dad, helping us draw up plants to install a tank for storing rainwater so we can water our gardens.

Felix is harvesting potatoes from our garden

We have been making the most of the fine weather and working hard to get our vegetable gardens tidy. We have a new garden bed and spread woodchips around the outside. We harvested the potatoes and emptied the compost bins so we had good soil that would help our plants thrive.
We are working hard weeding and laying woodchips around our garden beds.
