Moshi, TZ – Rau River Primary School garden – 18 Oct 2013

The Tupendane team helped Rau River Primary school plant a garden the week of 18 October 2013.

The garden will produce vegetables for the children and teachers, and expand their knowledge of organic vegetable gardening practices.  The Tupendane garden shop team educated the school about the benefits of eating healthy vegetables and how healthy eating helps children to grow up healthy and able to concentrate on learning during their classes.

The school’s parents committee nominated Mama Noel to tend the garden at the Rau River and to also educate the students about the garden best practices.

The school decided to plant:

• 2 beds of Chinese cabbage
• 2 beds of kale
• 1 bed of cabbage
• 1 bed of choroko (mung beans)
• 2 beds of eggplant mixed with okra
• 1 bed of kunde (cow peas)
• 1 bed of green pepper
• 2 beds empty for relay planting
