Auckland Botanic Gardens

Early on in Term 2, the Year 4's went to visit the Auckland Botanic Gardens. We had a fabulous day learning more about our inquiry topic of 'Powerful Plants'.

In our educational session, we got to use a variety of tools to prepare and mulch soil, and plant and water the garden. We prepared seeds for germination, then we got to examine and feed the worms in the worm farm. We were also introduced to the life-cycle of plants and learnt what they need to survive. After this we got to explore the huge variety of plants around the Botanic Gardens.
