Preparation for the pavers to go down beside our garden.

The pavers in place.

Our plants are looking healthy, we have to keep up the watering as it is so dry. The sunflowers are developing flower heads and the swan plants are beginning to get quite bushy. Two different types of swan plant. Two of our plants that will produce nectar, They are a Hebe donated by PalmerS garden centre and an ageratum.

Our garden now has weed-mat in place and our parents have helped us plant more host plants for the caterpillars and lots of nectar producing plants for the butterflies to feed on.

Watering our plants. Soil inspection.

Planting our swan plants and our nectar plants: ageratums, zinnias, alyssums, salvias and shrubs such as bottle brush and tweedia.
