Greetings everyone,
Today I attended my son's closing ceremony which he received a special sparklier award. His award was not a major award like that high honor awardee but to be honest I still appreciate it and whatever my son's IQ I still accepted it as long as he would not fail and wouldn't retain in class.😄
But anyway my content for today is confusing so I believe that it's suitable here.
My son's closing ceremony only took us a few minutes to wait for his turn since we arrive there late. After receiving the award I decided to head home because I need to do some laundry but to my surprise, I am captivated by the beauty of school’s vegetable garden. If you follow most of my blogs it shows you that I love plants and any gardening stuff.
For me, school is where I molded my hobby of planting. A little throwback during my public elementary days in school we use to do gardening in the morning or the afternoon right before or after our last subject in class. We have our group garden to nurture and most of the time it is graded so we have to do an effort for it. We are even obligated to bring any kind of vegetable varieties for planting and natural soil fertilizers like animal manure and take note it's graded so we have to follow. During nutrition months also that we celebrated in July we have different competitions and we often use our garden harvest to showcase our recipes.
Nowadays it takes into the highest level. Schools have their garden competition in which most of the teachers truly lead the gardening. And today since I’m already here I will show you some parts of my son's school garden which I believe last year won the school division overall garden and hope you appreciate and enjoy it.
To start I let my son take pictures of me at the entrance part and haven't noticed that the whole phrase that says ” Dayon” means welcome and ”kamo” means everyone is not captured. Above simply means a tagline here in Cebu that it’s a government program both in school and in the community.
Moving forward here’s their healthy lady fingers commonly known as okra.
Here we have long chilis and spring onions both decorated with recycled materials of water bottles and bamboo strips painted with lovely colors.
Here we have lemongrass which I wonder if anybody thinks of making a good tea.
Here is a bottle gourd which I’m afraid if still can stand alone if all the fruits would fully mature.
Down here we have some peanuts. See if you take a look at most of the decoration is made of recycled trash.
Then we have here beautiful spinach.
Then we have here the opposite side of the garden where we can see sweet potato taps, moringa, eggplants, and many others which I did not recognize anymore due to its distance.
Lastly, here are some sides of which vegetables are also cultivated by different grades and sections.
Today it amazes me to think that the government is taking to a higher level in giving importance to teaching our children in terms of agriculture as early as primary stage. It also makes me happy to know that even in the remote areas government is encouraging people to do this kind of stuff to make life sustainable and have economic development.
Without further ado, I thank you so much for reaching this far and reading my content. Have a great day and be safe everyone.😘
