Vegetable garden project: the 2020-2021 diary

Every year, the vegetable garden is looked after through workshops in the different classes and by the garden club.

In spring 2021, the CE1-CE2 and CM1 classes planted flowers (sunflowers) and vegetables (cherry tomatoes) on the theme of treats, in the school garden. Here is the diary of this project, which ran over several months.
