Howick Primary Garden Working Bee.

On  Sunday 27th June 2021 Howick Primary held a working bee. 

The goal of the day was to make more planter boxes for Garden to Table and cut down all the cabbage trees outside of rooms 3 & 4.

We got to work and started digging up the grass behind senior classrooms to make room for new planters boxes. We stacked the squares of grass in the staff car park.

 

 

Meanwhile lots of people were hard at work digging up the grass. Joe (Jackson & Jade's dad) was using a chainsaw to cut down the cabbage trees.

We had a break at around 11:00am. We had vegetable soup, lime and white chocolate brownie, coffee and milo. After a quick break we got back to work.

After the break we took all the roots out from under the grass that we had dug up so that weeds could not grow again.

It was not long till we packed up but we got the wooden pegs in and put the frames up for the planter boxes. Joe had finished cutting down all the cabbage trees too!

We packed up, washed all the tools we used, put them away and all headed home at around 1:00pm.

It was a nice hard working day outside doing gardening.
