On Day 2, the team wasted no time and got straight into it in the morning. Our efforts were put into assembling and nailing the plastic bottle stakes on structure as we wanted to finish the outside before the end of the day. It was a beautiful sunny day which encouraged everyone to be outside and involved. By the end of day 2, we completed the outside walls and doors.

These two days have been an absolute success! We managed to complete the basic structure of Greenhouse 2.0, which includes putting plastic bottle stakes on the 4 walls as well as putting up double doors for the entrance. Our next steps are to put a roof up and start working on the interior. We will arrange the planter boxes inside the greenhouse so that we can plant fruits and vegetables. We also have prototype planters made out of pallets that we can use to plant some herbs/plants. The target is to finish the roof and interior before Term 3, as learners will be busy with exam prep in Term 4.
