About 50 people went to Auckland Botanic Gardens on Saturday 29 April 2006 to celebrate CCET's 4th birthday party.

The weather was wet, but the participants enjoyed greatly at the event. Mr Jack Hobbs, the curator of the Garden who is the Curator Manager, gave a very interesting and informative speech. He also took us tour of a large part of the Gardens including the Threatened Plant Garden and the Potters Children Garden.

We also got to meet with Miss Ani Vector as "Agent Ani" in her full costume who is the special agent of environment for the Gardens’ kids program. Other fun activities included “swap a pest plant with a native plant” and Chinese character matching, and of course the cutting of our birthday cake and the yummy lunch.

The event finished around 2pm after a talk in the Garden's library on how to identify pest plants.
