Growing Good Things: Baby Chillies, Tiny Lemons & Big Garden Plans at Beyond Fun!
The Beyond Fun garden’s success reflects our mission: nurturing growth, learning, and excitement for everyone.
One of the highlights right now is our new baby chilli plants. Addison has been taking extra special care of them, checking on them daily, watering them, and patiently waiting for the perfect moment when they’ll be ready to pick. It’s been wonderful to see the responsibility, focus, and pride that come from nurturing something from the very beginning. We can’t wait to use these chillies in our delicious recipes at the centre!
At the lemon tree, a little green lemon has started to grow, a very exciting discovery! The tree is full of flowers, promising more fruit. Watching flowers become fruit reminds us that good things take time and care.
Our sweet potatoes are growing well with healthy leaves. They’ll be ready by autumn; we already look forward to harvesting and celebrating another success.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there… we have two brand-new garden beds to put together and fill! We plan to create an herb section in one bed and a pollinator-friendly garden in the other. Activities coming up will include planting herbs, selecting pollinator-friendly plants, and learning about different plant species. Everyone will have plenty of hands-on opportunities, such as preparing soil, planting seeds, watering, and observing plant growth. Stay tuned for updates!
Gardening at Beyond Fun is about more than plants, it builds confidence, patience, teamwork, and real-life skills through shared experiences.
