Project a boost for Nolukhanyo Grow

-

At the beginning of August, the St Andrew’s Prep grade 6 and 7 boarders spent a morning fencing and planting this garden. A month-and-a-half later, it looks like this!

We have identified 10 household food gardens that we can help and we’re tackling them one by one: with fencing, providing seeds, seedlings, food vines and trees, plus flowers and succulents. We also bring compost, manure, fertiliser and assistance with working the land and getting the plants establishe­d.

These two photos go to show how a concentrat­ed effort by a group of volunteers can basically set a family up to feed themselves forever.

We also put the finishing touches to a chicken coop, adding eggs and meat to the self sustainabl­e party!

Thank you to BUCO for the fence ingredient­s.
