We visit the Owairaka Community Gardens

It was a great day for our first visit to the Owairaka Community Gardens this year. It was cloudy, but it didn't rain until we were almost back at school.

Here are some of the activities we helped our friends Heather and Richard to do:

- plant new strawberry, lavender, parsley, lemongrass

- look after harakeke flax plants

- collect Jerusalem artichokes

- prepare and cook a delicious, warm rhubarb stew

- weed and tidy nine garden beds

We are looking forward to visiting again during term three.

Thanks to our super adult helpers who came along to help us out (Fay, Simon, Ruby, and Nia).
