Lees St Kindy visit
On 17th March 2015, fourty keen children, parents, helpers and teachers came to the Community Nursery to learn about growing native plants. The group learned about and collected seeds from kohuhu, manuka and mahoe, potted cabbage tree and broadleaf seedlings into tiny pots and then chose some larger native plants to take away to the Waihopai walkway. At the Waihopai, the children were met by Environment Southland staff who helped them plant cabbage trees, manuka, toe toe and other species along the river. This area would be looked after by Lees St children and so the whole circle of growing and planting and caring for the plants continues into the future. Well done Lees St for a great learning experience and thanks to Maggie for helping with the group at the nursery.
