The Agriculture Project teaches children how to grow a variety of vegetables so they can save money while having a more healthy diet. At the same time it feeds disadvantaged children by providing most of the vegetables for our lunch program in the Soup Kitchen. The students really enjoy their weekly gardening sessions, plants grow quickly here!
- Students receive practical lessons in how to grow vegetables, at the same time helping with planting and harvesting.
- We engage the local community in this program and have a partnership with the local government school to share our knowledge growing vegetables and other plants.
- Produce is used in the Soup Kitchen.
- Local families are sometimes given nursery seedlings to take home.
- The vegetable garden makes its own compost from organic waste.
