AFTER OUR TAKE ACTION

The plant towers project to promote healthy eating as well as grow resources for the school and through this here are some of the things we learned and also how we plan to move forward

Teaching opportunity

This project provided a hands-on learning experience, allowing students to actively engage with the plant towers. They participated in planting, maintaining, and harvesting crops, gaining practical knowledge about sustainable growing methods. Through direct involvement, they developed a deeper understanding of food systems and environmental responsibility.

The Next Chapter

Regular maintenance plans are in place to ensure the project thrives in the future, and students are actively involved in its upkeep. Ongoing education keeps participants engaged, while funding and resource support help sustain long-term success.

Sustainability

The plant tower's simplicity makes it perfect for a school environment, as it’s easy to maintain and understand. It also showed me, and likely many of my peers, how simple it can be to plant and grow our own food. This encourages sustainable practices by promoting local food growth and reducing reliance on store-bought produce

OUR TAKE AWAY

The plant towers project was not only a fun and engaging experience but also a valuable learning opportunity for both me and the class that collaborated with us. I believe this system of planting should be implemented in every school to promote fresh, nutritious food for students while increasing awareness and engagement with sustainability and healthy eating. Overall, I think this concept is ahead of its time, and as we continue to innovate, we will discover even more effective ways to integrate gardening into schools. This is just the beginning of a future where schools embrace sustainable gardening as a fundamental part of education.
