Coastal Garden Developments on Grounds Day

We have been digging lots of holes to plant our new plants and we have been watering them once we put them in place. Many had worms in and some of us didn't want to go near them but others could not get enough of the tiny little critters!  Some of these plants were called blue oat grass, feather grass and more. Jobs included watering plants and planting even more plants. Cerys and I (Flo) were organising loads of different shells and even some oysters (yuck).  It was great fun really! We have put lots of wooden pallets in to form a boardwalk with feather grass around it so you can run your fingers through it as you walk by.  We've also put chicken wire along the top to stop it from getting slippery when it's raining. Today, it has been raining for some time but we've all mucked in (literally) by digging some holes for pillars to be placed - these will be like the groynes you see at the seaside.

Digging up holes to place the plants in.

We have also been designing in our art books some sculptures and art to put in the garden. The Coastal Garden has been coming on very well so far and we can't wait until it's finally done. We have been working very hard and can't wait to see it finished.
