The Orchard Commences

Over the last few weeks, a small but dedicated team has been working on the construction of the orchard and wall in the Junior Primary Playground. We have been working under the wise supervision and guidance of Helen McGrace of Stoneartists at Aldinga Township who has been pivotal in getting the job done! We have also started planting the first fruit trees and are about to add a number more thanks to the genenrous donation of Blue Cottage Almonds in Willunga. The fruit trees are just about to burst into life and we look like having a good season to get them healthy and established in rich and life giving soil provided by Marty Vaher, a well known local supplier of energised and healthy soil and composts. Thanks Marty for helping us get growing! Miss Branford's class has also been busy creating stepping stone pavers for the orchard and we look forward to seeing them finished off and looking great soon!
A bit of a mud pit at the moment, but soon to be our productive orchard!
