This term some of the class have been fortunate enough to be involved in a project between Raukawa and the Tokoroa Community Gardens, thanks to Jared Kennedy the Health Promotions Coordinator and Robyn Wolfe who works tirelessly at the gardens and has a wealth of gardening knowledge.
Every Friday they are taken down to the gardens by Jared and there under the expert tuition of Robyn, they are learning to grow vegetables - later in the year they will learn to use these vegetables in cooking lessons...
Lots of new skills learnt: - starting with clearing and fertilising a patch of land, planting seeds and seedlings, discovering stinging nettle does sting and how to treat if you do have a close encounter with a stinging nettle, rake safety and last Friday - finding out what Yacon is and tasting it.
