We were very lucky in Week 5 to have a visit from Steve Bush (QSM) from Trees for Canterbury.

 Over the years Steve and his team have gifted many thousands of native trees to organisations for planting, including organising mass plantings in community areas. 

We have received hundreds of plants from Trees for Canterbury for our Native Garden. He talked to the children about the different types of natives, how they help the environment and their importance to the NZ ecological balance. 

You can visit them at 42 Charlesworth St, Ferrymead where you can view or buy the 300 varieties of native plants and trees.
