Bee Aware Month

September is BEE aware month
There are lots of things we can all do in our own backyard that protect the bee natural environment:

• planting plenty of sources of nectar and pollen for bees in your garden such as lavender, rosemary and wildflowers plus a wide variety of fruit trees and native shrubs.
• Limit spraying with chemicals when plants are in flower or when bees are present, or choose organic options.
• Provide fresh water in the garden for the bees to drink.

Ecofest 2014 Omanu School and Gwen Rogers Kindergarten

On Sept 4th, Gwen Rogers was proud to host over 100 people from the community; parents, children, former students, teachers and extended family alike. It was a fantastic opportunity to show everyone what has been going on 'over the fence'! The gate between the school and kindy was opened and lots of people wandered through the grounds, admiring all the beautiful work that has been done in the past few months in the gardens. You made us all proud to be a part of it. Great job!
