the veggie patch and ISO...



my P-12 school has quite an extensive vertical garden - a veggie patch...
and over this ISO period, it hasn't been neglected...

a woodwork teacher, who finds it easier to conduct remote learning lessons from school,
has been taking the mainly primary and a few secondary students at school
down to tend the veggie patch...

recently the students picked tomatoes
and learnt how to make and bottle tomato sauce from them...

the teacher reported that
the younger students adored having the older students help them...
while the older students felt needed and less isolated...

and all students learnt so much more about
the earth to table process...

that has to be an example of education in action...

there may be a crisis

but some form of valuable education goes on...
