Tinahely National School

School Garden

We have been gardening in Tinahely National School for 20 years. Our original garden had to be relocated in order to make a soft play area for our infants. We designed our new garden to be placed in the sunniest part of our school, South East facing. Today we are fortunate to have a large tunnel and raised beds.

Roasting and salting our pumpkin seeds to make sure we make the most of the pumpkin.

Preparing pots for transplanting our lettuce plants.

Picking out the seeds from the pumpkin pulp - Hard Work!

Scooping out all the pulp to make our soup!

These pumpkins are heavy - they will make lots of soup.

Getting ready for Hallowe'en

Picking our tomatoes from the greenhouse, We found loads of treasure. Guess what, we did not even plant these! They grew from last years seed!

Can you spot our giant pumpkin we planted in the garden last Spring?

Here, we are potting daffodil bulbs for our Grandparents Day in February 2023.
