We were met by Einir who took us into a classroom for our workshop called "Sowing and Growing" We learned lots about seeds and how they germinate and we also looked inside broad bean seeds to see the tiny plant inside, ready to grow!
Einir then showed us how to make recycled newspaper plant pots and we all had a go at making one....some more successfully than others! When we had all made a pot we filled them with compost and were given two marigold seeds to plant.
Following our lunch, we explored the great glasshouse and tropical greenhouse and looked around the allotment area for ideas.
We would all like to say a big "thank you" to Einir and all of the staff at the National Botanic Gardens and also thank Mrs. Rees, Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Hall for helping us on our trip...."diolch yn fawr iawn!"
