ENVIRO++GROUP

2011 ENVIRO GROUP  The Enviro Group has begun to replant the vegetable garden. At lunchtime members can be seen planting cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots and beetroot.



We thank Oakdale Organics for giving us potting mix, fertiliser and dozens of plants.

Our garden has really grown during the second term. We have picked some broccoli and celery and taken them home. The lettuce didn't grow very successfully but the cauliflowers are great.



The Enviro Group have also spend an afternoon planting wetland shrubs on a farm property in Parker Lane.

Our School Garden In our school we have a garden. It is quite big now that we have made it bigger. At the beginning of the year we planted tomatoes and cauliflower. We have eaten heaps of them. There are only 3 left and to start with there were about thirty. So now we are planting some more. We have been weeding the garden. We have planted some broad beans. They are nice to eat. We are also planting potatoes and kumara. They will be nice as well. For kumara we are gioing to plant them in sandy soil. This will help them grow. Soon the potatoes will pop up. That will be good as people keep threading on them.
