We're delighted to partner with the After School Education and Support Programme (ASESP) on a little gardening project. In our first growing session we planted sunflower seeds! The children were brilliant. They had lots of fun and worked really well as a team. The ASESP is based in Sheriff Street, Dublin 1, like ourselves. They provide a vital service for local families.
The baby sunflowers are getting lots of TLC and sun - thanks to the recent good weather. The children and ASESP staff are watering them regularly!
In our second session we sowed seeds for smaller, colourful flowers. The children really enjoyed that too.
We hope to grow some herbs next.
Many thanks to the ASESP for their invitation and support. It's a great to give youngsters an early interest in gardening.
