What a SUCCESS!

We raised $3,339 for the kids at the Green Gecko Project in Cambodia.

It was a fantastic night.  

Thanks so much to...

• all the students at Muritai School...
• the teachers who facilitated each with enthusiasm and no fuss...
• of course Chef Adrian Hornsby who gave his time to work with our buddying Year 7 and 8 chefs to create the amazing nibbles...
•    Gordy and Nicole from Blue Carrot who supplied the food...
• Bidvest for the extra veges the kids didn't grow...
• my gardening team (Zoe, Eden and Rosa) who worked weekly in the garden to provide courgettes, carrots, herbs etc for the night...
• And the lovely Ms Berry who drove the project with me.

The Fruit of our Labour

Three Year 5s returned to the Senior School Vegetable Garden today to harvest their hard work from 2011. Rosa, Eden, Zoe and Mr Ray ventured across the road with tools in hand discussing what they'd like to achieve in the garden this year and wondering what greens they may find in the garden after a 'lack luster' summer.

They found healthy green tomatoes, looking like they might eventuate in March, half a dozen courgettes, 3 massive bowling ball red cabbages, carrots with character and a dozen leeks ready to go.

A heavy load.

The girls sorted and divided the harvest in three, deciding a coleslaw should be on the menu.

The girls are looking forward to gardening once a week and getting some more little green kids involved.
