Kids Growing

Lots of activities in the School Gardens over the last week.

St Joseph's School got to unpack and label and use their new gardening tools.  A big thank you to Lotteries grant for their generous grant to fund 6 of our active garden club schools  $400 worth of gardening supplies.
 The Students got stuck in and loved using the new tools and gloves.
 Suzie shows Fergus how deeply to plant the pumpkin seeds
Our new Oamaru North School did some more planting out.  Learning how to get seedlings out of pots.
 They got to try a few different green juices too.
Fenwick School got to make omelettes this week.  Picking fresh greens from the garden, even a little stinging nettle went into the mix.

They really enjoyed the omelette and helping to make it.
Pembroke School had some money gifted to them from Subway and they bought some fruiting goosberrys and bluberry plants.  They planted them out this week .
 Kids got to help make another green juice too.  The recipe tastes better with some banana.
Waitaki Valley School got to try making green juices too.  Their brew got a bit of stinging nettle in it.  Pineapple and coconut water.  Some students loved it, other students had to hold their nose in order to try it.  Lots of fun,


 Waitaki Valley Schools vegie patch is looking great. The potatoes have come away nicely too.
