A HUGE THANK YOU to 

Howick Local Board & Kings Plant Barn 

for generously funding a $200 voucher towards our edible plants. 
We used this to buy 5 mandarin trees. 

  

Its citrus time of year! 

Lemons and oranges are a plenty in the Garden to Table kitchen  - the students just love eating these; even the lemons! Our recent recipes have included lemon slice and lemon bliss balls. 

In other areas around the school we have used lemons to make herbal tea. 

We have recently added some orange trees to our fruit orchard. 


We have been given a $200 KINGS PLANT BARN voucher by Howick Local Board.  Due to the popularity of the citrus fruit, we have used this money to buy 5 mandarin trees to further complement our Garden to Table programme. 

We are so excited to have fruit right here at school! Less food miles, cheaper and fresher too!
