Bulls School
School Gardening Partnership 2025
“Bulls School are super excited to be back on board with Springvale Garden Centre again this year. We are beyond grateful for how you helped us last year with many of our projects. We had a big Enviroschool meeting with our coordinator and have made some good goals for the year ahead.”
Leigh Hansen, Bulls School Partnership Coordinator
May Update
We got our daffodils in. A range of classrooms were involved in this. We planted them along the roadside which is State Highway 3, so I am sure they will be enjoyed by many.

Bulls School is thinking ahead for Term 3, and looking at developing a sensory garden for the juniors.
School Gardening Partnership 2024
October Update
Bulls School is looking to focus on establishing bee and butterfly friendly gardens. These are useful pollinator insects and it’s fantastic to see them getting into every aspect of gardening.
The students had a lesson highlighting Monarch butterflies. During this they set about planting half a dozen swan plants, plus seeds to allow continuous food supply for the incoming caterpillars.
June Update
Strawberry season is upon us! I feel like planting strawberries is a quintessential step in getting children involved with gardening.
May Update
The next stage of learning involved getting up close and personal with beneficial insects in the garden. Starting with insect hotels. The students received a letter from Bertie the Beetle requesting their help to build new houses.
I think they’re wonderfully innovative and I’m very impressed with their resourcefulness!
March – Getting Going
“We just recently received the Enviroschool Silver award and are working towards several projects within the school, with gardening using vegetables, flowers and the process involved, composting and worm farms.” – Leigh, Bulls School Partnership Coordinator
First things first, they requested daffodil bulbs to fill in a lovely grass space and brighten it up. With aspirations to pick and sell bundles to the community later down the line.
We provided a big, mixed bag and the students got straight into it. Eagerly awaiting a bright spring.
