Friday at Westport North School was a HUGE day!
Not only was it our School Triathlon...but our Garden Warrior's were very excited to share their gardening efforts with Bryan from Tui, and some other distinguished guests that included MR McManus our Mayor, Francie from Mitre 10's garden department, the lovely Westport News Reporter, and Dylan the Architectural Landscaper for our Local Council.
Bryan from Tui was a HUGE hit with our Garden Warrior's, some of whom were so delighted to receive our framed "Garden Finalist" certificate...they high tailed it straight to assembly to show it off! We are all VERY appreciative of the beautiful Tui Gardening books, and garden tools...thank you!
Bryan was full of enthusiasm for our efforts, and offered us some ideas to work toward such as converting one of the changing sheds into a propagating House, he also suggested a big orange store where our "Garden Facilitator" would find just the fitting she needs to get our seaweed tank under way...while she is sorting the tap fitting we'll haul out the other chlorine tank from the pump shed and see how we can reuse the pipe work to potentially collect rainwater off the changing room roof!
NEVER fear Garden Warrior's our Garden will NEVER be finished with our collective creativity!
(One of our Garden Warrior's was VERY worried that the garden may be finished & Garden Club would be over!)
Please have a look at our video presentation of our Garden...we are VERY proud of our efforts. This is what you can do with a bunch of enthusiastic Garden Warriors in two school terms, with a couple of hand drills, cable ties, flax, packets of seeds, and a few Awapuni Nursery seedling bundles...
