Our Trip to the Botanic Gardens

Fourth and Fifth enjoyed their trip to the Botanic Gardens in Dublin, as a result of winning the National Incredible Edibles competition. We were blessed by the beautiful weather, which allowed us to enjoy a fantastic tour of the gardens. The children were treated to a planting workshop with Jean (our Guide) and they learned lots of cool facts as they went around the gardens. They made their own biodegradable planters and planted seeds, which we will be able to grow in our green-house. After the workshop, we were all treated to a lovely dinner in the cafe. The children then went back outdoors for a tour of the grounds and they also got to check out the amazing plant and tree species in the different greenhouses. The children, as always, were superbly behaved and they were once again complimented on their attitude and enthusiasm. Special thanks to the staff of Agri Aware (Kalyn and Ailish) and the staff of the Botanic Gardens for their support and encouragement throughout the day. We had a blast!!
