Page 4 - My Growing Space: Gardening Workshop

Second Block: 14 August 2024 - 5 September 2024
During our second block of our Gardening Workshop happening every Wednesday
and Thursday, we will now plant and fertilise our herbs and vegetables.
Week 1 will involve rehashing what was achieved from the first block. Then we will
now prepare the area for planting herbs, fruits, vegetables, and plants by weeding and
placing soil in pots and garden beds.
Week 2 involves potting the plants, fertilising them, and ensuring they have adequate
space, sunlight, and moisture.
Week 3 is about learning about each plant, understanding how to identify ripeness,
and checking for pests and diseases.
Week 4 is about reinforcing the knowledge from Week 3 and learning which herbs,
fruits, or vegetables pair best with various dishes for optimal cooking and eating.
