Auckland Botanical Gardens

Auckland botanic gardens

I remember when we went to the Auckland botanical gardens on 20th February. First we hopped on the bus to the botanic gardens, it was a long ride. When we arrived we moved to the courtyard and had some morning tea. After that we met Caroline and went into the classroom to learn about native, exotic and endemic plants.

A little later we went into the children's garden, sat down and Caroline told us a story about a tu’i. Caroline picked Gina (my classmate) to be the tu’i. In the bag that Caroline brought there were circular plastic mats. We sat on the mats and had our magic moments, my magic moment was winning a soccer tournament with my good friends. Then Caroline gave us cards to go and identify plants. A few minutes later we went to gather kowhai seeds, then we put them in envelopes. Then we took a long walk to the garden center to plant and we had a choice to plant harakeke seeds that we picked to cut and plant flax and also prick. Then it was lunch time, after we had lunch we went bush walking. Then we got tired again and went back to school.
