Arbor Day

We were planting trees and bushes at the Wetlands for Arbor Day with our buddies . These are the trees that we planted:   kowhai
                  native bushes
                  cabbage trees                   
                
We had to dig holes so the trees could fit in, so they won't die or rot. First of all John the park ranger told us how to plant a tree and a bush.  First we dug a hole in the ground then we put a fertiliser pill in and then we had to put the plant in. We put the dirt on top, then we put a blanket round the plant and then we put the sticks in the holes in the blankets. After that, a plastic  bag was placed on top with two holes in ether side then it was finished.

After that we got planting some more. We planted heaps of trees and bushes and it was so much fun!
