Our garden initiative has a two-fold objective: firstly, to cultivate fruits, vegetables, and salads that will enrich the nutritional offerings for school children. Secondly, we aim to educate these young minds about the art of gardening. Through this project, children not only learn how to grow and nurture plants but also gain an understanding of the value of composting.
Our project had humble beginnings, starting with the preparation of the land for cultivation. Over time, with the invaluable support of our dedicated volunteers, we were able to fortify the garden area with a protective fence. We successfully planted and harvested crops like corn and introduced fruit-bearing trees such as bananas and papayas.
In 2023, we achieved a significant milestone by establishing a greenhouse. The benefits of the greenhouse were immediately evident, prompting us to plan the construction of an additional one. Presently, our thriving garden boasts a variety of crops, including lettuce, bananas, carrots, rosemary, avocado, chili, aloe vera, mango, papaya, and guava.
