Trip To The Botanic Gardens

Today Ruapotaka School went to the botanic gardens. The botanic garden was in Manurewa (Auckland). We saw lots of different  gardens, There were rose gardens, Edible and herb. The juniors went to the right and the seniors went to the left. The first garden we went to was the Edible garden. There were vegetables and other plants. We then went to the Threatened Native Plants. My favorite garden I liked was the Rock garden.  
We had fun at the botanic gardens!!

Botanic Gardens

Tomorrow we are going on our trip to the Botanic gardens to see many kinds of garden. The garden I want to see is the rose garden it has a rose design on the vine. The roses are summer colour for any type of garden. The roses have so many lovers with their plush flowers and delicious scent. Roses have been symbols of love, beauty and war. Roses become members of the collections they go through three years of trails.
