Bakalarr Vegetable Gardens

home > projects > Bakalarr projects > vegetable gardens

Bakalarr School [MAP] has always had a vegetable plot, using it to produce food, but also as a teaching aid in science and agriculture. With makeshift fences the goats often ate more than the students. Now that a new wall has been erected and a larger area cleared much more is being grown. Unwins and Suttons very generously donated seeds. Extra crops are being produced and sold to raise funds for the school. See below for background information and updates:

Boundary Wall

Building the wall was vital before a garden could be started
