The playground at Yarrunga Primary School is set to be refreshed when kids begin planting as part of Schools Tree Day on Friday, 25 July.

Planet Ark Schools Tree Day is designed to be an opportunity to inspire and educate future generations on the many benefits of trees and connection with nature.

Park Lane Nursery are proudly supporting the initiative, donating about 250 of their self-grown tube stock to the school for planting in beds around the central playground.

Lucas Brook from the nursery said the seedlings they will be planting are all native shrubs and small trees which are bird attracting, with some even providing bush foods.

He said they are tough, well adapted to the climate and should do really well in the north facing garden beds.

"We're happy to be providing the seedlings because this project is a win-win for everyone," he said.

"It encourages the kids to get involved and to get interactive with the plants."

Yarrunga Primary School art and outdoor education teacher Matt Lorback said some old, worn-out plants have been removed from the beds to make way for the new planting.

He said it was the second year the kids have been involved in the Schools Tree Day effort - last year planting over 200 seedlings down by the oval.

"We are in a unique setting here next to the One Mile Creek and bushland and we wanted to link in with the surrounding environment and connect the two spaces," he said.

"The bush foods will also be used as part of our kitchen garden program."

This year about 20 children, mostly from grades 5 and 6, will be involved in planting, not only creating habitat for native species but also beautifying the playground for all.

Park Lane Nursery said as a social enterprise with 100 per cent of profits reinvested into providing more work opportunities for people with disability, it was delighted to support the school and the Wangaratta community.
