Gardening is an activity that de-stresses people and connects them with nature. School gardening could be the start of a life-long passion for children and shows how this hobby can enrich the curriculum and encourage schools to use it as a teaching tool. School gardens not only provide fresh produce and educational opportunities, but they also promote a healthy lifestyle and a greater appreciation for the environment. The children of Grade 7 prepared the compost pit and are on the journey to prepare organic manure on their own.
