Fair Trade & Year 7 Kitchen Garden project has begun!

Year 7c has begun digging their little patch of earth for the creation of our own edsc kitchen garden outside the Landy centre and 402 Food Tech kitchen and they are sooo excited. They discovered earthworms and were in awe! over the holidays we hope to make a barrier and fill the spot with soil so that we can begin planting after the holidays. Ms Stubbs spent an arvo at Bunnings investigating suitable plants as well as a compost bin so that we can also begin recycling our green waste and vegie scraps from Food Tech sessions to make compost for our garden.
You may like to start a garden of your own at home...even a pot or two will do and now it is Spring this is a great time to start planting!
Here are some pics to inspire you and next time you go food shopping ask mum or dad to look out for fair trade products -these are products that aims to help producers in developing countries make better trading conditions and promote sustainability. Thefair trade  movement advocates the payment of a higher price to producers as well as higher social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, in particular coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, fresh fruit and chocolate. You will see this logo on the product:
