Dirty Hands!

The students of Stoneyholme Primary school were excited to get their hands dirty! Pots were handed out to each student and they took it upon themselves to fill their pots with soil and fresh compost. They then created holes to plant carrot seeds in. Each child was handed a handful of seeds which were inserted into each little hole in their soil. They then covered each hole up and watered the soil. The students were interested in the technique involved and every student got their hands dirty through grabbing handfuls of soil! We even had time to fill cups with soil and compost and add sprigs of rosemary to each one. Each child took home a pot of carrots and rosemary. Over the coming months the plants will grow large through the care of the children with their newly acquired skills.
