JHC Planting 3 & 10 June 2022

Bring together one group of James Hargest College Year 10-12 Ag&Hort students working towards their planting trees or shrubs Unit Standard 2765, NZ native plants grown at the Southland Community Nursery and Environment Southland’s Waihōpai Planting Programme site and you get over 100 plants added at this restoration planting site. Following the know how session of how to check for a healthy plant and how to plant, it was all hands on to get the plants correctly into the ground so they have the best opportunity to thrive. As we walked back through previous plantings, some maintenance was carried out. Awesome mahi today. This session was followed up by some more planting, this time around the JHC campus, with the students putting their knowledge into action.
