Kowhai Seed Planting

 Piwakawaka Year 4 students spent our Friday morning planting out our kowhai seeds.  We had sandpapered the edge of each seed and soaked them to improve the chances of them germinating.  All together we planted one hundred and four seeds. Hopefully we get the same number of plants to grow on for planting; either in the school grounds, or in the community. 

                                                                         

Propagation

Piwakawaka students learn how to prick out plants, and pot on older plants as part of their responsibility for the school propagation tunnel. The plants grown are for use in the school grounds and for riparian planting.
