Addington Green Thumbs Team

Thank you, Green Thumbs team for the amazing job you did in cleaning up the Simeon Street pathway. It is now 'slip and skid' free thanks to this remarkable group of workers! The team spent their Friday lunch time removing the mud and rotting leaves with spades and rakes. Several children had slipped over when walking along the park pathway and Levi came up with the idea to fix the problem.

Friday dawned a beautiful day after days and days of rain! So lovely to walk in the sun and see these gardens so green and lush. Thanks again Chris (and for your composting and the vegi garden information) and Daniel for joining us. The Green Thumbs team had a wonderful time exploring and learning about gardening. The garden is a must see and an inspiration to do better with our vegi garden at school not doubt!

Thank you Chris and Pavla, for showing us this wonderful place - WOW in just 22 years from grass to bush! Just think what our native area will be like in 20 years time. Try adding 20 to your age now and imagine revisiting our school site.

Green Thumbs Green Thumbs are a team of about 20 Year 4-6 children from Addington Primary, who are interested in gardening and taking care of the environment. They meet every lunchtime - Friday when possible and work within their school gardens. These include an orchard, vegetable garden and native bush area. Whaea Lyn, Whaea Kerry, Matua Chris and Matua Daniel help out and bring along skills and knowledge of their own to share. Whaea Kerry and Matua Chris with the 2017 Green Thumbs
