Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 2 Activity 2: A protective Plant

Activity 2: A Protective Plant [4 points]

There are concerns about the water quality of some of the rivers, streams and oceans in and around New Zealand. Some people have suggested that we plant flowers and plants on the banks of our most polluted rivers to stop the spread of the pollution. Apparently, the plants can act as filters, absorbing some of the chemicals (pollutants) that are moving across the land, on their way to the river.

Planting can be a lot of fun! Have you ever planted a garden? Aronui and I are going to make our very own edible garden this year. We are going to plant a number of veggies, fruits and herbs, including mint, coriander, parsley, lemongrass, onions, tomatoes, beans, zucchinis, kumara and strawberries. Yum! If you could plant an edible garden what would you plant in it?

On your blog list 10 veggies, fruits, or herbs that you would plant in your garden.

1. Cherries

2. Feijoa tree

3. Water melons

4. Banana Tree

5. Avocado Tree

6. Strawberries

7. Pumpkin

8. Apple Tree

9. Coconut tree

10. Mango tree

If I had to choose from all of these fruits/vegetables I would choose to grow a Mango tree.
