Thank you to all who came to celebrate a beautiful Harvest Gratitude Parent Education session last Sunday in the Middle Cove biodynamic garden. 60 celebration participants from families spanning the three campuses of Willoughby Preschool, Castlecrag and Middle Cove from Playgroups to High School enjoyed the morning together.

Making butter, creating flower and grass bouquets, harvesting mature composted soil to re-enliven the rainbow garden bed, planting seedlings a new, moving a ton of campus collected leaves into the chicken and duck coop, and feasting on garden delights. A biodynamic silica remedy to strengthen herb leaves and sweeten guava fruits was also dynamised and distributed all over the garden.

‘Come butter come X2
If you don’t hurry you’re going to be late
And I’m going to beat you to the garden gate’

We sang together as we shook and passed that jar of cream all around our circle of friends.
Golden butter was then ours to eat on home made sourdough bread dotted with sweet guava paste. 

Thank you to Biodynamic Gardening Teacher and Playgroup Leader Sandra Frain for hosting a magical morning at Glenaeon.
