plant Inquiry

Our Question was:What soil is best for plant growth?

At the Hamilton gardens we learnt that loam was a great soil for plant growth.

Our experiment was to see if loam was our final answer, or if one of our other soils were the best.

We saw that sand was the worst because it was too dry, chicken poo was too rich in uric acid.Our dirt and horse poo was our best ,loam didn’t work because we didn’t manage to get hold of it.

We learnt that dirt was our best and it was free you can’t get loam from and store,you just have to dig it from river banks or make it out of clay,sand,dirt and organic matter.

Hamilton Garden 

On Wednesday week seven we traveled to down to Hamilton gardens to find answer to our questions.raining raining I sream to my self. as we take cover in the sustainable garden.as we trot out of the tropical garden we realized that we are actually  in the fantasy garden that Libby wanted to go in so she was sad as. so the we traveled  into the cool china collection.





Firstly we rolled into the Japanese garden.To find a little pond with three ducks.On the other side there are realy pretty bushes on display .When we went out of the Japanese garden.We came into the Italian Resistance garden.Which is my favorite garden because of the water falls and how you can see over to the eating area  and there's up stair and on the other side was a bit where you look down a the Waikato.


as we walk back to the car we beg and beg to go on the play ground.as we look at a wood caving in a cabinet. I admirer it with all my heart.I want to thank Hamilton gardens for this opportunity and the gardeners who saw as.
