Planting Window Boxes for Floral Pride 2012

On friday  18th  May  the  fifth  year  students  at  St.  Felims  planted  window  boxes  for outside  the  school.  They  used  geranium  plants  that  they  kept  in  the  laboratory  from  last  year  and  also  the  geranium  plants  that  they  had  propagated  in  class.  Some  of  the  window  boxes  still  had  ivy  and  pansies  from  last  year  and  these  were  re-used.  Students  planted  some  new  plants  in  each  of  the  window  boxes  such  as  trailling  petunias  and  marigolds  which  will  add  to   the  biodiversity  and  attract  more  insects.  Kay  Maguire  from  Ballinamore  Tidy  towns  also  came  along  to  look  at  the  excellent   work  that the  students  were  carrying  out.
