Several years ago, Paekākāriki School created a nursery to help fund its gardening programme - and today it’s still going strong.
The school is preparing for its garden and car boot sale over Mother’s Day weekend.
Sales from the event will benefit the school’s gardening programme, which has children up to Year 6 working in the school gardens and learning about things such as growing their own food and pest control.
The school garden is maintained by a group of volunteers called the Potty Potters, who have also been preparing the plants for sale.
