Come visit our School Garden, at Colpe Allotments (at South Gate roundabout take a left towards Bettystown, drive over the bridge and you will see a sign for Colpe Allotments on your right, just past the car wash.)
We are plot number 13!
While there please feel free to water our plants and pick out any weeds that might have appeared since our last visit.
As you can see we have been very busy, digging, sowing, planting and watering.
We look forward to watching everything grow.
Please forward any ideas to improve our garden to your student council representative.

All classes have been busy planting vegetables for our school garden. Soon we will bring the pots to the school allotment. The Student Council took some photos in the Junior and Senior Infant’s classrooms.
