Garden Worksite @ P188M

Welcome to our School Garden! Here, students cultivate their green thumbs by planting seeds, tending to the garden, and growing a variety of herbs and vegetables. They not only learn essential gardening skills but also contribute to reducing their carbon footprint by engaging in sustainable practices. Through our "seed to plate" initiative, students experience the full cycle of food production, from planting to harvesting and selling their fresh produce to the Learning Cafe. Join us in nurturing both the earth and young minds, as we grow together sustainably!
