All classrooms have a garden to look after at Cockle Bay. Room 18 has the garden just outside our classroom where we have planted our flower seedlings and mint. We also look after the vegie garden by the front of the school near the main school entrance. Sometimes we go and do some weeding before school, so that the vegetables have lots of space and sunlight in which to grow.
When we were at the front of the school, we were amazed to see how many mushrooms were growing under the trees. Last year, the school brought in some new soil to improve our native garden, it looks like it had a LOT of mushroom spores in it.

| We identified the mushroom using Mrs Bear fungi book. It is Armillaria limonea. Some people call it the honey mushroom because of its colour. It grows in groups on rotting wood under native and introduced trees throughout New Zealand |
