Permaculture Elective

Throughout this year, Year 10 Permaculture students have been learning how to grow food by using nature as a model. For instance, they have been watching how water flows naturally to see where best to grow plants that require lots of moisture. These lessons will be used to develop the community garden outside the Secondary Office, beginning in Term 1 of the new school year. In preparation, they are decorating old tyres and recycled plastic bottles to use as planting containers.
