Kōwhai and Harakeke plants

Ms C Hillier —

Nora Paicu has brought the ‘Misty Harbour Patch’ project to Columba College.

She kindly visited our Year 8 Science class to discuss how to collect seeds and propagate Kōwhai and Harakeke plants. Year 8 is currently working on a Botany topic and science badge and they are busy learning about how different types of plants germinate. This visit was just what was needed, thank-you Nora, kia kaha and kapai for sharing your expertise with us.

We’ve attached Nora’s tips and advice in a PDF if you would like to try this out at home.
