It has been fantastic to see the students learning through hands-on experience in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, the children have explored the <strong>edible plants<\/strong> growing in our school garden and learned how to care for them through activities such as <strong>transplanting<\/strong> and <strong>deadheading<\/strong>. They also discovered how these simple gardening practices help plants grow strong while supporting <strong>local biodiversity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another exciting milestone this week has been the start of our <strong>potato and onion planting<\/strong>. The children carefully planted them and are already looking forward to watching them grow and harvesting them later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re excited to see our garden continue to develop while the students build their knowledge of nature, food, and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go raibh maith agaibh<\/strong>:<br>@TheHeritageCouncil (Facebook)<br>@HeritageHubire (Twitter\/X)<br>@theheritagecouncil (Instagram)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Post-para-Facebook-Horizontal-Dia-del-Amigo-Collage-Animado-Colorido.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Post-para-Facebook-Horizontal-Dia-del-Amigo-Collage-Animado-Colorido.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Post-para-Facebook-Horizontal-Dia-del-Amigo-Collage-Animado-Colorido.jpg 940w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Post-para-Facebook-Horizontal-Dia-del-Amigo-Collage-Animado-Colorido-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Post-para-Facebook-Horizontal-Dia-del-Amigo-Collage-Animado-Colorido-768x644.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Post-para-Facebook-Horizontal-Dia-del-Amigo-Collage-Animado-Colorido-358x300.jpg 358w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marked the second day that our horticulture expert Joan Power joined us in school to work with the children in our garden.
