Week 2

On Tuesday, 24th of September, our TY horticulture class continued work on our Sensory Garden.
This week we focused on scent and taste in our garden, using Lavender and Physalis plants.


Lavender:

The plant we used this week in our garden was ' English Lavender '. 
Which can be used in herbal medicine, herbal tea or sometimes used as a culinary herb. It is mainly known from its strong, fresh scent.



Physalis:

The next plant we used in our Sensory Garden was the Physalis plant. This plant is similar to the tomato in colour and shape, and can be used for culinary dishes. Physalis, in some cases, can also be used in medicine.





After we planted the Lavender and Physalis plants, we began work on the garden itself. We removed all of the surrounding weeds in the area of the plants and made it more pleasing. We also tossed some of the soil near and around the plants in order to mix nutrients in the soil.
