The rural community of Fordell couldn't have asked for better weather over the weekend as the school's popular Garden Ramble returned.
Held for the first time since 2018, the Fordell School Garden Ramble raised money to bolster the school's technology and science facilities.
Fourteen homes around the wider Fordell area, including Whangaehu and Mangamahu, were involved in the ramble.
Students from Fordell School were sprinkled around the properties, helping run the various food stalls.
Gems Gilberd, of the Fordell School Fundraising Committee, said the event was planned to be held every two years, but it couldn't go ahead last year due to Covid-19.
