We live in a Glen where gamekeeping is a big part of the community and with 'piece' being Scottish for sandwich, we designed our garden for things that we could eat for lunch.

Water is a natural engineer, carving landscpae and bringing life.  The water feature in our garden helps water the garden and provide water for wildlife and nature. Also we found a discarded nest and used it to provide a place for wildlife!

Our fence was made of sticks – that were collected from around our school – we piled the sticks up in between stacked ones.  We learnt new techniques: how to build a fence, how to be eco-friendly, how plants such as peas can climb on to other plants such as corn or sticks , what plants we could grow to eat.

Having various plants will help our wildlife along with a habitat to live in.  We have in our garden things we can eat such as:  Sunflowers, Poppies, Marigolds, Tomatoes, Mint, Lavender, Sage, Chives, Fennel, Raddish, Lettuce, Carrots, Cabbage, Strawberry.

Creating our garden had some fun times like making our water feature, which was challenging, and enjoying making McDuffy the Gamekeeper and his binoculars.

The biggest challenge for us was time and the WEATHER!!! But we worked through some little issues like putting the hose together for the water feature and cutting wood, making sure to be careful when carrying the plants.

Our garden will be kept going in the years to come and we will add new ideas along the way. We will use herbs in our meals and cooking at school – lettuce for snacks and lunch, strawberries just to eat!!!
