    Description

    Tuesday 4 July 2023 Growing for a CauseGet Real group of children

    Today's cause: Valuing our environment

    Today's programme will kick off with an inspirational talk (speaker to be advised).

    Spend the day with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei who will be hosting your children at Pourewa where they will spend a day in a living lab. Pourewa is working towards becoming an hub for mātauranga māori, environmental restoration and education, organic horticulture and vegetable gardening. Kids will get the opportunity to partake in learning about Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei history as well as hands on experiences such as the importance of growing and planting native plants and growing organic kai. Kids will focus on growing vegetables from seed, propagating plants from cuttings, and planting native plants to restore the whenua. At the end of the day, students will be able to take home their own native plant. Looking forward to seeing you there!
