Horticulture and gardening students planted pumpkin seeds, growing their own to carve for Halloween.
The Skills Academy started planning for Halloween months ago using their horticulture and gardening skills to grow giant pumpkins. Seeds were planted in the community garden, which young people care for with the help of our Sustainability and Green Skills Instructor. The youngsters watched the pumpkins take shape until it was time to pick and decorate a traditional jack-o’-lantern in time for Friday 31st October.
Young people had fun getting creative, adding frightful features and ghoulish grins to their homegrown pumpkins. The result was an eye-catching display of original masterpieces.
