Commumity Garden Evans Bay Parade
What a beautiful and busy week we have had in Wellington.
On Tuesday our Kea Tamariki had an excursion to the Community Gardens located in Evans Bay Parade.
At the gardens - we stop at each raised garden and Jo talked about what we can see and the tamariki have LOTS to say as well about what they see, smell.
We spend some time at the Strawberry garden - looking for the flowers and talking about bees, pollination) and how the flowers turn into the fruit.
This created much excitement and it was decided we NEED to have strawberries in our garden too.
Below is a quote from one of our tamariki about our trip to the community garden!
Have a happy and safe weekend Whanau!
