1,500 locally grown saplings given to pupils

AlLokrit, one of Dubai’s oldest floral wholesalers, distributed 1,500 locally grown fruit and vegetable saplings to kindergarten pupils of Dubai Gems Private School, Oud Metha, on Thursday.

The saplings included fruit, tomatoes, chillis and peppers. The initiative was aimed at bringing children closer to nature and making them aware of the importance of ‘saving our planet’. “We believe that the best way to make a change is to catch the kids at their preliminary stages,” said managing director Gidwani.
