KCC Exploring at the Nursery 18 August 2018
A beautiful sunny day meant that for this event we were able to wander outdoors, exploring all the way. We first noticed the monkey puzzle tree, feeling how prickly it was and learning that it is a native of Chile in South America. The 10 children and 6 adults then headed out towards the pond, stopping to feed the resident ducks and hearing all about how Chris and Brian have created the pond and planted NZ natives. Learning about the adjacent Bushy Point reserve and how the Otatara Landcare Group is restoring this area, and seeing the plantings over the years filled in the afternoon. We had a kai stop at the Bushy Point pond and it was great to just sit and be in nature. We look forward to the Bushy Point planting day on 8 September.
