Working days at the schoolgarden I

On the next three days we spend the time in our school garden by working in different subjects.
The day began with a tour of the school garden, where we learned about what is grown there.

One group was making herbal oils:
After harvesting the herbs, we started making the oils. Fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme were mixed with olive oil.
A highlight was making chili and garlic oils. We finely chopped fresh chili peppers and garlic cloves and put them into bottles with olive oil. These aromatic oils can be used not only in the kitchen but also as gifts.
The collaboration went smoothly, and we had a lot of fun processing the various herbs and exchanging information about their uses.

One of the other groups painted pots and labeled them with specific plant varieties. Some of them were used to place them in the school garden. The other pots will be on sale soon.

Everyone had a lot of fun and could let their creativity run wild. The South African enjoyed this very much.Meer informatie
