School plant fair tomorrow

A Clutha school which prides itself on its environmental efforts will sell plants, vegetables and other homegrown items at its annual plant fair tomorrow.

Waihola District School stages the event as an annual fundraiser and as a chance to show the community how much it values the environment.

It holds a silver award in the nationwide Enviroschools project.

School board of trustees member Sheridan Massey said both the community and school raised plants from seed over the year with an emphasis on edible and native plants.

"The school has its own gardens and each student has their own section within that in which to raise plants," she said.

On sale tomorrow will be plants, perennials, annuals, vegetables and herbs as well as miscellaneous garden products and even some home baking.

The plant fair will be held at the Waihola Community Hall from 10am to 3pm.
