Green Living Association feels great pleasure in sharing the Green Initiatives by the Partner Schools’ Campuses in our Green Partnership. Any new thing the Green Angels learn about Living Green – is real success of GLA and the Partner Campus. Our prime objective is to give Green Angels practical experience of Environment in establishing their true association with nature. Such realization is essential in keeping our environment protected and cleaner.
In a number of descriptions and introductions, as given below, we can realize the sense of true achievement and great accomplishment by the campuses and their Green Angels.
9 Organic Gardens grown by the Campuses of Silver Oaks School
Here is a brief account of the wonderful initiative by the Silver Oaks School’s administration. The successful growth of the Organic Vegetable Gardens by the Green Living Campus Clubs at 9 different campuses is really a wonderful achievement. Below is given a brief introduction of the initiative as we have taken it from the Campus Garden Report sent by the School Administration.
While believing in sustainable future through education, we introduced the green organic garden activity in our school (nine campuses) in partnership with Green Living Association. Organic gardens enhanced a sense of community ownership and stewardship. We provided Green Angels (students) with an inter-generational exposure to cultural traditions of gardening and farming as well. This was a healthy and inexpensive activity with loads of significance for students, which brought them closer to nature, and allowed them to interact with each other in a socially meaningful and physically productive way. Studies have shown that gardeners eat healthier diets than do non-gardening families. This was evident when we observed the attitude change among the students and parental reports.
We used the organic trash like orange peels, potato peels, apple peels etc. as fertilizer in the soil. Organic waste (Compost) is not made up of synthetic chemicals, which is why it does not have any harmful effects. Composting reduces the organic trash and health risks.
This activity was a real contribution to environmental sustainability.
Following activities were performed during the activity period:
a. Group of Green Angels was established in each of the 9 participating campuses;
b. Site selection was done in every participating campus;
c. Soil used in the garden was tested before making beds;
d. Organic fertilizers were prepared (Compost);
e. Students (green angels) were given information about organic gardening and objectives of the gardening activity;
f. Weeds were removed from the garden;
g. Composting was done;
h. Vegetable seeds were sown;
i. Students kept watering and mulching the garden from time to time.
Nine of our campuses have Green Angels and we have one project manager for each campus:
