Tui Primary School Category Winners

 Westport North School Garden Warriors take out the Tui School Challenge,

Primary School Category!

 

Today we had an extra special garden session, not only did the local Kindy kids come down for an explore of our Award wining garden, but we were hosting Bryan from Tui,

and Mitre 10's Francie.

 Budding Master Chef's were evident as a quick parsley pesto was whipped up for Garden Warrior tasting platters for our guests....

 A couple of our special Katikati Avocados were mashed into guacamole submission by our Warriors...

 ...celery sticks were harvested for dipping duty, and I see carrots were also proudly lined up on display and latter devoured!

The word "Garnish" was on every Warrior's lips as they wholeheartedly embraced the concept of "Decorating your food" with edible colour!

 Our celebratory guests Bryan and Francie really enjoyed seeing and tasting, the continued growth of our garden and delivering our generous prizes. WE can't wait to implement Stage two of our garden plans now that we have more available resources, thanks to the generosity of Tui and Mitre 10. The impact the garden has had in our community has been huge.

 Our Garden Facilitator had a few awards of her own to give out to our Garden Warriors for "Cultivating Excellence" in our garden!

 Trent has been a HUGE force in our Garden and was the very PROUD recipient of his very own book recording his HUGE contribution to the Garden & School.

 One of our most committed Garden Warriors who has regularly been first through the gate every lunchtime, Samantha Rose also got her very own photo book of her Garden Journey.

 Well done to ALL our Garden Warriors who have "Cultivated Excellence" in our Garden, Mrs Marsh, the entire Teaching staff and your "Garden Facilitators" are very proud of what you have collectively achieved these last 2 terms. We hope you enjoy the copies of these special books that will be in your library.

 To thank Tui for providing such a wonderful opportunity in the form of "The School Garden Challenge" ...we thought a "Tui tree" would be the perfect enhancement to our Garden!

 We all really enjoyed digging a hole and planting this Kowhai (thank you Paper 4 trees & Holcim) at the entrance to our Garden to welcome Tui's and Warriors.

Our Principal got the coveted task of placing the final soil around it.

Well done Garden Warriors, a garden for now and the future!
