Spontaneous Generosity!

Visiting North Rocks Greenery  on their second last sale day for pots and giftware, I picked up some great stuff...kid in a lolly shop kinda sensation, plus the Chinese element of me was satisfied with the 50% off!!!
  • 4 wide, shallow terracotta planters perfect for strawberries and herbs 
  • A special ceramic herb planter (4 circular sub-compartments, with one of them on top of the others)
  • 2 large cafe-style glazed terracotta pots - their creamy colour and angular form will be a beautiful contrast to tulips
  • A number of other cool pots, tools and seeds

Am looking to do proper seed saving and start a bank/co-op (have the fantastic book from Seed Savers) but haven't yet got started! I also bought all the posters for use in the classroom, but I have to think of a proper program that could be viable at my school before launching into such a significant, ongoing and labour-intensive project. 

Anyway, besides wanting to note my appreciation of the nursery's great service, a huge thanks to Genevieve for spontaneously offering the floral displays for use at my school. I'll definitely keep you updated on how we've been able to use them!
