From Green-Waste to Garden Gold Every cuppa counts at Woodend School. The photo shows Mahi Māra (the Junior Garden Group) re-using teabags to grow new plants from seed for the garden. The “hat lady” (Lesley Ottey education officer from Schools and Community Recycling and Waste Minimisation Education Programme) was impressed by Woodend School’s attitude towards re-using kitchen and green waste. In the garden group they experimented with vege scraps left over from making dinners and lunches. They also experimented with re-growing celery, sprouted yams, re-grown carrot tops and they have plans to do more. The group has learned that Green Waste is garden gold, and it’s free.
