Thank you Elizabeth from Mitre Ten

During Discovery Time on Friday the 10 June, Elizabeth from Mitre 10 came to school to talk to us about plants.
We are wanting to beautify our south side garden at school and Elizabeth talked to us and showed us plants that are suitable and like to be planted on the south side of buildings.  She showed us a fuchsia (the ballerina plant), heuchera, lirirope and ferns. 
Elizabeth was very generous and gave us some strawberries to plant at school.  Strawberries cannot be planted on the south side of the school they need lots of sun and lots of food.

We will use this information to design a garden suitable for the south side garden near our classroom.

 
 

 

 We wrote some thank you letters to her.

Dear Elizabeth,
 
Thank you for the plants they were beautiful my favourite plant was the heuchera. Thank you for telling us about the plants and which ones would like the sun and not like the sun.
