The gardening gang get their gloves on and then get their hands dirty! Pulling out weeds, planting seedlings and deadheading the flowers so they grow even better than last time.

Bottle Greenhouse

Hey!

This year, one of our major projects is to build a bottle greenhouse. We are making this greenhouse by cutting 2.25 litre bottles of fizzy (empty of course) and using the top part, where the cap is. Then, we stick the half of bottle on a wooden pole, we have to squish them together to make them stay on the pole. We then have a frame for the 'walls' to click into. We also have lots of caps which we will be melting down to recycle.

Comment down below what you think about our project!
