Classroom Horticulture
As the weather started to get colder, wetter and darker we retired to doing indoor planting.
For this we would need some help with getting our plants enough sunlight.
We decided that the way to do this was by making light boxes. These are boxes we can place our potted plants in that will reflect the sunlight onto our plants (once placed in the window) giving them more heat and light and allowing them to grow.
We made these light boxes by cutting and tapping cardboard boxes into the shape that we needed and then by cover the box completely in tinfoil (to reflect the light)
We then moved on and decided that if we're being eco friendly it would only be right to plant our herbs (we decided to plant herbs to try make a small herbal garden for ourselves) in bio-degradable pots.
We made these bio-degradable pots using newspaper and masking tape (both bio-degradable products) then we filled these pots with compost seeds and labelled them accordingly.
We put basil and coriander seeds into our pots (in hope that they will grow!) before combining the two elements we made.
