The seeds need water, light and soil to germinate. Germinate means the seeds have sent out roots and shoots and are ready to grow. lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156408 2019-10-21 07:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156408 Third: The LSC had 1000 native seedlings delivered to school. There are five different types of seedlings to pot up. There are Manuka, Kanuka, Harekeke or flax, Te kouka or Cabbage tree and Toe toe. lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156568 2019-10-21 07:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156568 Fourth: We now need to fill the planter bags with potting mix. Then we take the seedling plugs and plant them into the potting mix. Make sure to cover the roots with the potting mix! lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156687 2019-10-21 07:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156687 Fifth: In one years time the seedlings will be ready to plant out on farms and around streams. This will be our job to plant our native plants into the ground. Job well done by the LSC students at Northcote College. lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156800 2019-10-21 07:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156800 Finally: The landowner looks after the plants by weeding around them and keeping farm animals and pests away. lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156963 2019-10-21 07:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400156963 Here are a set of videos that will help us become successful tree growers! lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400535791 https://www.tfsnz.org.nz/teachers/tfs-teachers-resource/]]> 2019-10-21 19:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/w2bs36bz5wvx/wish/400535791
