Newspaper and TV Appearances

We have recently had The Guernsey Press over to Herm to record what we are up to on the island and any new developments in our effort for Britain in Bloom 2012.

Brett and I showed them the Valley area where the outdoor team have made a few improvements with planting schemes, the pond and stream and cleared two fallen Eucalyptus trees which fell during the winds in November and December. One of the trees has been made into a new seat.

We also took them to the Farm area where we have started harvesting rainwater by installing Water Butts to collect run off of the log cabin roofs, in an effort to conserve more water for use by residents and the gardening team. In the summer months, watering the tubs and planters in the Farm area is important to keep the place looking good for the guests and seasonal staff. This will now be much easier and better for the environment.



The wormeries have also arrived, so we can soon install them and start to make compost and plant feed in the school garden. We just need the worms!
