The finished garden

Our S4 class were learning about biological control and decided to design the garden based on ladybirds as nature's engineers as they are a natural predator of aphids and spider mites.

There are some fruits including raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries and strawberries.  We also included typical garden plants eg. Fushia and roses.

The pupils enjoyed making the ladybirds from recycled bottles and used the remining bottles to build the glasshouse structure.

We had pallets and compost donated to us from local businesses but all our plants were bought in local garden centres or cuttings from our own gardens.
