Garden to Table

2019 Autumn Time in the garden.

Room 5 again were busy on Tuesday harvesting and weeding. A couple of groups were spreading bark chips in the orchard and down the paths. It was very dusty and they wore masks. The recording group were picking flowers to put in the book and talked about what each of the other groups were doing.

In the kitchen we were cutting, slicing and grating of all the vegetables to make two delicious salads with a yummy dressing and Potato Zucchini Fritters. Remember you can find all the recipes on the Garden to Table School Website. We want to thank the wonderful parents and grandparents that helped out on Tuesday.

We hope you enjoy looking at our photos.

On Tuesday Room 3 had a sunny day in the garden. We did a lot of harvesting on pumpkins, cumber and zucchini. There were lots of leaves, so many you could swim in them! We raked them up and wheelbarrowed them down to the compost bin. The sunflowers also need to be pulled out of the ground as they were dry and brown.

In the kitchen we made Feijoa cordial, potato scones with salsa. They were delicious!

ROOM 3. Last Garden to Table for Term 1.

Tuesday 13th March 2018 Garden to Table

Garden To Table.

On Tuesday Room 3 had Garden to Table. In the garden we planted lettuce, kale, bok choy and silver-beet. You need to plant silver beet 2 to 3cm under the soil. We did a lot of weeding around the fruit trees. We harvested lettuce, tomatoes, courgettes, editable flowers and beetroot. Guess what? We have 90 sunflowers in the school!

Then we went into the kitchen and made chocolate and beetroot pancakes with roasted apricots and yogurt. They were delicious! We hope you enjoy our pictures.

ROOM 3. Tuesday 13th February 2018 Garden to Table

Room 3 enjoyed a beautiful day in the garden with Howard and helpers weeding, digging up potatoes, podding beans, planting celery and lettuces and finally harvesting. We collected corn, tomatoes, zucchini and onion for our scones.

We then went into the kitchen with Jane and our wonderful parent helpers to make the salad, scones, butter and prepare plums for bottling. The scones and salad were delicious!!!
