A new arbour, hand crafted by students, was recently erected in the Learning Support Centre’s garden at Orewa College.
The arbour project was headed by the workshop teacher, Ferdy Gerber, who challenged his students to design and build it from scratch.
The arbour, with its intricate ‘bow tie’ design, has a plaque that says “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
It is positioned so that the students can plant climbing vegetables.
Often the students in the centre use the produce they grow to cook with.
Learning support centre teaching assistant Kym Kristalie says the staff and students feel that the arbour is more of a piece of art than simply an arbour.
