Sustainable Living
September is a busy month for harvesting and the Eco team have been gathering lots of fruit from around the Dragon grounds. We have a number of trees bearing pears, apples, plums and damsons, as well as fruit such as the tomatoes grown by the Greenfingers gardeners. These have already been used in a number of ways by Dragons in the Cauldron including making jams and conserves, crumbles, muffins and chutney. Some of the fruit has been taken up by the boarding houses, and the apple collection for a whole-school apple pudding to be made in the kitchens is underway! Windfalls unable to be used, plus cores and peelings are not wasted either: they are composted or put into special bins that go off to our green energy generating digester!
