Former, future and current Pauatahanui School pupils have joined forces to grow and tend the vast array of plants on offer for the school's annual plant sale.
Grayson Wass, 17, and his brother Campbell, 15, have been working hard up at the school on Sunday mornings, weeding and helping to prepare the area for the Labour weekend event fundraiser.
The brothers have helped at the sale since they were primary school age kids, helping their parents out.
Grayson said he kept involved in the family tradition because he wanted "to continue to support our local community and make a contribution" to his local school while he still could, as he
Meanwhile, Harrison Burke,4, joined big brother Edward, 6, to learn about getting things growing and to help with the endless potting and weeding, the group do on a weekly basis.
Pauatahanui School principal Bradley Roberts said the inter-generational nature of support for the school showed that true community spirit was alive and well in the local community.
"This is part of what makes the Pauatahanui area and this event so special."
As well as the weekly commitment to growing the plants, parents and their children take part in the traditional working bee during every school holidays and help on the day to sell raffle tickets, bag plants and help the hundreds of customers carry their plants out to their cars.
This year the Potty Planters have a huge variety of plants up for grabs, including flax, hedging plants, native grasses and Corokia, all priced under $8.
It was estimated that over 1000 people came to the event last year, so organisers are hoping for good weather to bring out even more keen gardeners this year.
The annual plant sale will be held at Pauatahanui School from 9am till 3pm on Sunday 22 October.
