On August 2nd, 2017 we celebrated National Tree Day at Joyce Avenue Children’s Centre by planting new lemon trees and some beautiful shrubs. Our Kinder and Toddler children had a great time turning the soil, helping to dig the holes, pouring out the mulch and watering in our new plants. Educators also held a short education sessions for the children on why we plant trees and shrubs and how important it is to care for them.
