WEEK1 -

during the first week of horticulture we planted many plants such as:

  • pansies
  • lavender
  • curry plant
  • lemon palm
 
before we planted any plants we had to remove any weeds that had grown in the garden throughout the last year. we used trowels forks and cultivators to remove and turn ground. we then dug holes using the trowels and shovels to place the plants in. Each plant was a certain distance a way from each other to give the garden a layout and make it look sharper. 
The aim of the garden was to peoples senses, touch,smell,sight,hearing and taste. The sense that we worked on this week was the sense of smell as the plants all giving strong smells.
To plant these plants we first had to dig a hole deep enough to fit the roots in, then we covered it up with compost and watered the plants. the wide range of colors and smell applied to both senses of smell and sight witch made the garden very appealing to all.
