Activity 2: A Protective Plant

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. Cucumber.
2. Tomatoes.
4. Apples.
5. Peaches.
6. Lettuce.
7. Cabbage.
8. Onions.
9. Mushrooms.
10. Pickles.

  1. Kia Ora Alex!

    Thank you for this wonderful blog post! I love most fruits and veggies! My favourite veggies are: Broccoli, onions, pumpkin, potatoes! I love making roast veggies!

    One of my New Year's resolutions is to eat fresher! Your lovely list sounds amazing! I love snacking on blueberries! They are so sweet and sour!

    What’s your favourite healthy snack?

    keep up the great work!

  3. Kia Ora Alex,
    Well done for completing another task on the Summer Learning Journey. I hope you enjoyed your summer break. I really like how you choose lots of Vegetables and not many fruits. I also like how you posted a picture of a garden. Next time attribute your photo.

    Why didn't you put many fruits on the list?

  4. Hello Alex! Your garden sounds pretty juicy and crunchy. It would be great to plant the items you did, to make for a very healthy and delicious garden. If there was only one thing out of the 10 that you could plant, what would it be? Keep it up!
