Botanical Gardens Trip

Botanical Gardens

On Friday, we went to Botanical Gardens for a field trip to learn about plants and growing. Before we got there the buses were late. We arrived and we all got put into groups. Luckily I got put into a group with my friends. We first started at the Herb Garden. I don't think we were supposed to pick the herbs. But one of the plants smelt so nice,  so I had to pick it! It smelt like lemon. My group adult was Miss Parker, she was pretty cool. We took lots of pictures of us and the nature around us. All we could hear was the birds tweeting, the air whistling and the motorway. Botanical Gardens is the most quietest place I’ve ever been to.

After we wandered around we went back to the meeting place, and went with this lady named... I forgot her name, Oh well. We learnt a new word ...biodiversity... She asked a question, what is the difference between endemic and Native? No one knew. We planted Harakeke and this other plant I don't know what it was called.

My Botanical Garden experience was really fun, I enjoyed!
