growing the future in the school gardens

Here’s Karyn & Arihia setting up the Enviroschools tent at Kapiti’s Sustainable Home & Garden Show. Held last weekend in the glittering sun.

Among other events, there was Cloak of Protection being played inside (Enviroschools Wellington being my biggest supporter).

The theme this year was ‘Bees, butterflies and bugs’. There were fourteen gardens from local Early Childhood Centres, Primary Schools & Colleges.

At the centre of the school gardens ecosytems were alive! Bees joined us. Music wafted into our tent, chimes from one school, especially composed music from another.

Here’s a pic of Karyn (with Natalie, the local water educator) at the end of the weekend. She’s dancing outside our tent, among the school gardens.

Obviously we had a very good time!!
