A Visit to the Discover CAFRE Campus

On Friday 21st March, A Level Biology and OS Horticulture visited the Discover CAFRE Campus at Greenmount. We had a tour of Agriculture and enjoyed the dairy farm including the maternity ward. Then we headed for different experiences; Horticulture admiring the blooms in the walled garden and an inspiring talk about landscape maintenance from a past pupil. We viewed the horticultural glasshouses for talks on pest control and Hydroponics. Biology headed to look closely at the wet lands and hedge laying at the nature trail and also completed quadrant surveys in the meadows. After plenty of walking and fresh air, a good lunch was required. Thank you to Toni and her staff for their hospitality at #discoverCAFRE.
