On Friday the scholarship students who participated in making recycled planters last week got a lesson from Santos, Center gardener, about how to plant and take care of the ornamental plants donated by the local government. The plants are currently on display at the Center and will be taken home by the kids later this week. The hope is that this activity will plant a seed (literally and metaphorically) for the importance of environmental stewardship and a love for nature that these kids can take home and share with their families. This is one of various activities we’d like to do around the theme of environmental sustainability and urban gardening in the year we have remaining here at the Center.
