We got together a dedicated bunch of volunteers who wished to do extra work in the school garden. We call ourselves the "St. Fillan's Gardening Club" and we meet every Monday after school. We have 7 raised beds in the school grounds and 7 large half-barrels. In May we gave 2 of our beds a makeover and tidied some of the others. We brightened up our half-barrels too with bright bedding plants. We bought them this year but next year Mrs Nicholson is going to challenge each class to grow some from seed. Bridge of Weir Horticultural Society kindly donated packets of seeds to us at their Flower Show. This will give us a great choice for next year. We received a £50 micro-grant from "Action Earth" which we used to establish a new rockery to celebrate 2010, the Year of Biodiversity.
