Trip to Kereru Gardens

We were out and about today, which was pretty exciting. Our first stop was Kereru Gardens plant nursery out in Pyes Pa. Our job was to choose some plants for the school which we have been awarded through the Paper for Trees programme, and we each got to pick a plant.

We also learnt how Kereru Gardens propagate their plants and how they choose which ones to grow.

And we tried a fruit that none of us had ever eaten before – Mexican lime. It was VERY sour!

On the way back to school we popped into Palmers Welcome Bay to pick up the Year 8’s fruit trees that they are going to plant in the school orchard.
