Waiau Area School Tuatapere “Creating a community nursery and garden”
It was all action as Waiau Area School arrived at the Community Nursery. The group split into two groups – the first with Honorlea and Chris Mangion exploring the vegetable and fruit gardens and the second with Chris Rance studying the structures and facilities needed to set up a community nursery and garden. There was a lot of activity and enthusiasm as the nursery and garden were explored and ideas were put up on the whiteboard inside the Education Centre. After lunch in the Nature Centre the whole group followed Chris around the ponds and bush tracks, collecting seeds and learning about native plants and animal pests along the way.
