Met two teachers - HD and DW who are going to run a gardening club, after school. They both have allotments so know what they're doing/letting themselves in for! I'm going to advertise on freecycle for gardening equipment, and organise a work day for digging. The teachers didn't want to put the garden where I suggested - they felt it was too near the boundary so at risk from vandalism - instead we'll tuck it in behind the caretaker's garden fence, which is less obvious. We'll need parent volunteers to help too. Dacorum BC are selling cheap compost bins, so the Friends (PTA) have agreed to buy two - the kitchen can put peelings in them. Dacorum will also send along someone to talk to the children about composting.

I went to a Friends meeting - lots of ideas and support - so felt much encouraged. But I have lots to do - and work seems to have got busy again.
