Richmond School Garden.

Richmond School Garden.

On Friday afternoon at 2.00 pm we had to go to our school fill the gap garden. Before we went down to the garden we had to get the garden tools and some new spring plants that our teacher Whaea Sharon had brought for the class to put in the Richmond School Fill the Gap garden.

We had to think of a way to carry all of the tools and plants to the garden and back. We were thinking for long time but not too long though, but after a few seconds Ashleen said "Why don't we use a wheelbarrow if we have one".Then Whaea Sharon said "We do have a wheelbarrow but someone has to wheel the wheelbarrow to the garden" I said "I will I will I'll wheel the wheelbarrow to the garden but someone has to swap with me when we come back from the garden." So that's what we did.

The first thing we did when we arrived at the garden was to pick up all the rubbish. We all lined up across the garden and walked the length of the garden and worked like a rubbish truck. I also helped to clean the graffiti off our sign. The lady from "Ma and Pa's Cafe" kindly helped us as well.

Then we weeded the planter boxes and removed the dead plants. Only then were we able to choose a flower to plant. I chose a purple flower to plant because purple is my favourite colour.

By the time we returned to school we were all sweaty and tired, but it was worth it. Our Fill the Gap Garden looks much better now.
