Over the last month, the children in the nursery at BestStart Northwood have grown increasingly interested in gardening. We planted strawberries and tomatoes in the early summer, and the children have helped water them and watched them grow into plants bigger than them! Some of the children have even taken to role playing this, using things such as toy boats to ‘water’ the garden. It’s great to see our youngest pēpi showing an interest in caring for the world around them, and developing an awareness that Papatūānuku can provide us with tasty food to eat.
