Planting Native Trees

What a busy morning we have had planting some of the trees that we received from the Women's Native Tree Nursery here in Gisborne for our awesome recycling. We were given over 120 native trees! We planted some kanuka, hebes and kowhai because we were planting in our school Butterfly Garden - the butterflies and bees love these plants. We used our team work skills to take turns at digging and planting and we even gave the roots a haircut so they weren't bound around the plant. We had so much fun and we can't wait to watch our trees grow into big strong ones!

    1. Thank you for your comment.
      Last year lots of us were part of the Little Garden League which is a secret club where we learnt lots about plants and even grew our own vegetables from a seed. We had lots of fun and might even do more on it this year!
      It sounds like you are doing lots of fun learning about plants too!
      Frankie would like to know what you are learning next.
