This week was our last visit from the Autism Specialist School for this year. It was good to be finishing on a sunny day. With the grass now tidy, we put back the painted tyres, as a dividing wall between the sections of the garden. The cable-reel table is now set up, though the stools need a little more work.
The final bed was filled up by the Barrowing team (who have been keen to stick with the task, despite the smells) which is the Touch bed. We planted some of the donated plants, which have interesting textures, velvety, spiky, rubbery, bumpy. Though it isn't ideal to be planting on such a hot day, this being Wales; it is likely to be raining soon enough!
The edibles bed has been filled up with the rest of the donated plants, and seedlings which have been grown, Broad Beans, Strawberries, Runner beans, and Tomatoes.
Some of the children got creative and made these signs, to go in each of the sensory beds to let people know what they are about.
So we said Thank you and Farewell to the group for the summer. They have been so eager to get stuck in to the tasks and activities, and it has been great to get to know them over the last term. The difference in the garden now is amazing, and we couldn't have done it without their help.
