By Opal and LydiaEco initiative with Hand 2 Hand 2020-2021Hand 2 Hand is a charity we, at St. Andrews Green Valley has been working for the past few years. It focuses on helping both those in need in their care as well as helping families that are struggling within the rural/ suburb areas. We initially collected 2 litre milk cartons as part of a drive on recycling which we cut to use it as planters. Miss Ginny and the primary students have been planting vegetables such as green beans, herbs and peppers that we have then transferred to “giving garden” to be able to grow stronger. In this “giving garden”, we have already been growing sweet potatoes, spinach and kale. Last year in december, a group of CAS students took the sweet potato cuttings, green beans and banana plants down to Hand 2 Hand and planted it all out in the beds there. The vegetables that we helped grow would contribute to the Hand 2 Hand project to supply healthy fresh vegetables and produce to families that they are supporting.
We look forward to growing more vegetables this 2nd term and next as well. You and your families can get involved by growing their own plants at home and by recycling your milk cartons to make planters.
