The course participants introducing them selves to each other. Here we have Colin, Carlene, Enid, Felicity, Penny-Jane, Erica, Linda and Marina.
The weather was perfect for gardening. The group divided themselves into 3 groups and each group created a different garden.
Compost, gardening tools, plants , old coke bottles and wood were all gathered up with which everyone used to create their gardens.
Everyone frantically busy creating their gardens.
Enid planting seeds. Enid looks after orphans in Kayalitsha and is starting to grow food to feed them.
Deep in design thought and discussion.
Linda sprinkling the crushed egg shells to deter the snails.
Even our resident Cape Angulate Tortoise came along to see what all the activity was all about.
Erica, Justin and Enid created “The Sweet Garden” due to the fact that a worm farm was incorporated, the vegetables planted are sweet and Lavender which will attract the bees.
Carlene and Felicity (Linda had to leave early) show us their “Pizza Garden” Fabulous to go outside and pick fresh produce for your Pizza!
Colin, Marina and Penny-Jane created a useful plants garden, consisting of herbal plants.
A wonderful fun workshop was had by all. After the last 2 days rain the plants will be growing actively in no time at all.
