Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged

30 Mar

“Arranged”. That’s the inspiration for this week’s photo challenge from WordPress. And the interesting part is that the images are part of one of our current projects: A Hanging Garden with school children, inspired by the Babylon Hanging Gardens, but using recycled materials, as PET bottles, coconut fiber (to build the planters), cost-free watering system and donated seeds… “Get involved, get “green”, get together”!

Not the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but...

"Making sure they're all PERFECTLY ARRANGED"!

  Please feel free to do so! I do need to update the “hanging garden” post… Got new images of newly emerged seedlings, elementary children “investigating” the progress of the project with their “very-scientific-eyes” and magnifiers, and the transversal work with Math students, calculating the necessary volume of cost-free water for the whole garden… Need to find some time this week to work on that. More hours in a day, please! Thanks for your interest, BTW!

  Thank you, SanVar! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check the photos! The Weekly Challenge is a great way to share ideas and experiences. This one, is part of a larger project from our School’s EcoClub, and, being a Biologist/teacher/advisor, it’s my responsibility to make sure the message of “reduce-reuse-recycle” is getting across the student body… Going “green” for a much better future… A simple cost-free project!
