Children visit garden

This month, we had a special visit from children attending the Moove and Groove session at the YMCA at nearby Michaels Ave reserve.

We see these colourful young characters every week when they walk through the gardens on their way to visit the residents of Mercy Parklands hospital and retirement home.

On this occasion, the group stopped off for a longer visit at Papatuanuku ki Taurangi. They had morning tea on the deck and fed their scraps to the worms.

 

 

Then they looked in the chook houses and found four eggs had been laid.

 

 

Finally they went to the big white tent where Ping was waiting for them.

Each child had a little box which they filled with seedling mix.

 

Ping helped each boy and girl to plant a cucumber seed in their box. Someone then had the bright idea of putting their name tags on their own boxes so they knew whose was whose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that, the children and their adult helpers filed back through the greenery and off to the YMCA.

Thanks for the visit and we hope your cucumbers soon outgrow their little boxes.
