With the white plastic gloves on, 20 English teachers from Catalonia, Spain are ready to hands on planting the new roots in New Zealand.
|
Recycle - the used milk paper bottles are cut off the top and bottom then become the perfect plant pots.
|
Regenerate - seeds are nursed and grow up as wee plants.
|
Time, knowledge, cultivation and patience are the common nutrition to grow up plants and students.
|
|
Be a wise visitor - leave just footprints and take just photos.
|
Be a wiser visitor- plant new roots and take home lifetime memory.
|
Firstly dig a 20cm hole and then take off the milk paper bottle.
