We’d talked the School Canteen into turning the garden’s produce into Pizza (and Salad!) for lunch on June 11.
A bit of a backstory on our Hanging Garden Project: We’ve got new ORGANIC VEGGIES, all from ‘freshly donated seeds’…
Our middle/high school students have been deeply involved in building a system with planters made from recycled PET bottles, as seen on the right.
What originally was a school research project, has become a multidisciplinary task (see left), and a passion for all the gardening lovers! Besides that, we’ve discovered a great source of cost-free clean/distilled water for all the watering needs: the several air conditioning devices, spread throughout the school campus.

Great use of a recycled PET bottle!

It was (and still is!) great fun, indeed! The garden is still growing, and soon there’ll be more to share… This was just the initial result – and, a definite hit among the little (and not-so-little!) ones!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!
