Keep checking back to watch our plants progress :)
We are the PCS Environment and Sustainability Group at our wonderful school, Papatoetoe Central in Auckland, New Zealand. We are a group of Year 1- 6 students who work with Miss Barratt to take care of our school gardens and look out for ways we can be more sustainable in our school and our neighbourhood.

Term 1 planting!
The environment group have been very busy preparing the school vegetable beds and getting them ready for some new produce. We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Mr Deeds share some of his gardening expertise with us and over the past two days we have been planting; celery, pak choi, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach and silverbeet. Here are some photos of us hard at work.

Welcome back to 2018!
Hello everyone,
The PCS environment and sustainability group is back up and running for 2018. Today was our first day out in the gardens and it sure was a busy one! We had to clear out the old plants and weeds that had dried out over summer to make room for the new vegetables we want to plant.
Here are some photos of us hard at work!
As you can see we are gardening superstars!

Wonderful Worm Tea Sale
Wonderful Worm Tea
Worm tea may not sound too appetising but your plants will really love
it. Worm tea is a liquid produced by worms, which is high in nitrogen, and when
diluted with water makes a highly nutritious plant food, as well as an
effective fungicide and insecticide. Worm tea lets you fertilise with something
that is really nutritious for your plants. The beneficial micro-organisms
contained in the worm tea are absorbed immediately by the soil and plants in
your garden very quickly.
You can buy this amazing fertiliser from our school office. We have two
worm farms on site. A group of dedicated student gardeners who look after it
and carefully collect the worm tea into bottles on a regular basis.
Worm Tea will be for sale on Friday 11th August from 8.00 -8.30am at our
school entrance gate.
These bottles of garden goodness are available for $2.50 a bottle or 3
for $7.00.
