Nova Pioneer Ruimsig celebrated Arbor Day on Friday, September 9, in collaboration with the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden and Snyman Attorneys who donated 10 trees to the school.
They included native plants and fruit trees.
The event began with a discussion about environmental conservation and educating the students about the importance of trees in the environment.
They learned about the various fauna and flora in the Botanical Garden, and their horticulturists taught the students how to plant trees.
After planting the trees, the students and staff beautified their gardens by planting flowers throughout the school.
“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the donation to the Botanical Garden and Snyman Attorneys. Not only will the trees provide much-needed shade around the school, but they will also improve the ambiance and overall aesthetics of our gardens,” explained Carla Hercules, NPR School Leader.
