Southcity plants indigenous

Hopefully the white Ironwood tree will provide shade for many years.

DURING the month of September, Southcity celebrated Arbor Week by planting the indigenous Vepris lanceolota, also known as white Ironwood. It flowers in summer attracting birds to nest and eat insects and is an evergreen. The school is hopeful that it will provide good shade for pupils for years to come.

Pupils Micaela Palmer and Cameron Krishna proudly show off the indigenous tree planted for Arbor Day last week.
