Sally Mair - Loving life

School garden

This small plot is just inside the gate at school. It used to have a selection of spindly bushes in it. The older pupils have dug it out, added nutrients to the soil and are in the process of planting okra seeds and drawing an audience!
The school has a small farm for the young people who can't manage at home after they finish their schooling, this is a small project for what they call the 'vocational' class which is the oldest group of pupils. They do all sorts of work related tasks which will provide them with some useful skills. Some make mats similar to those we would use on a beach, some make candles , some weave mats and baskets - whatever they are doing they seem to enjoy though.
