We had a free Samhain visit with Annette from Heritage in Schools last week. We looked at signs of winter in the garden and were surprised to find so many flowers still. We noticed that broadbeans and phacelia sown in the beds last time had sprouted and the wildflower seeds in the greenhouse were ready for potting on. Lots of them now will grow on in pots over the winter and be planted out in the meadow in spring.
We explored how the sun travels through the sky during the year as we have just passed the beginning of November and are getting close to the shortest day. We talked about Samhain traditions and played some games. We also planted lemonbalm in the shady spiral, tasted some raspberries and tomatoes and found some time for yoga.
