Yesterday was our last day of teaching. We had the opportunity to teach at Phoenix Hgh School. The students that we had are all learning horticulture as well as the core subjects such as English and math. There are only six students in the class but only four showed up yesterday. One of the students doesn't want to do horticulture for a career, another wants to do landscape design, one wants to do tree surgery, and the other wants to plant seeds. It was great being able to team up with a Horticulture student only a few years younger than me and share my experiences. We also did a short lesson on grafting which the students knew nothing about but hopefully got something out of. In one of their greenhouses, they had a dry erase board with where everything was within the garden and what tasks still needed to be completed. I thought this was a very efficient method to keep track of everything in regards to the garden.
On Friday, we had a free day. First I went to Hampton Court. We walked through the palace a little and went through the maze. We also walked through a few of the gardens. After that, we went to St. Paul's Cathedral, the Monument, saw tower bridge from afar, walked by the Gherkin and shard, then we walked by Shakespeare's Globe. Finally, we went to King's Cross station and found platform 9 and 3/4.
Nice selfie!
