Education

Growing your own food is an essential life skill that everyone must posses. And it is especially true for the times we live in. Hence we believe that seeding the knowledge of food growing, recycling and sustainability in schools is a must. Children will become the earth keepers long after we are gone. We work with children of different ages and can tailor the curriculum to cater to your objectives and requirements.
