Matu atu he tētēhura, ka whakaeke mai te tētēkura ~ as one frond perishes, another grows in its place.
Children-tamariki are encouraged to sustain our world and in this instance were supported in recognising ways to harvest and care for plants at the same time.
By taking a small piece from each plant means, that the plant recovers quickly and continues to flourish.
We are all caretakers of our place and encourage children in choice making to support being role models for others in kaitiakitanga.
