15 August 2019: Creating Potted Colour

Over the last few weeks, Gardening Club has focussed on creating color in our school with plants.  

The Shade House had a lovely donation of bulbs from the community and the tamariki planted these in pots around the school. The children loved finding worms in the soil and guessing what flowers will bloom. We also learnt how our worm poo from our school worm farms will benefit the growth of our plants. The tamarki decided gloves were a good option for this part of the process! 

We also worked together as a team to reinvigorate and replant Christine's pots outside of the school office. The tamariki ensured that each pot had three different flower colours and that their planting was even across the top of the pots. The new pots look fabulous and so vibrant, well done Gardening Club!
