Green children?




I visited Avondale Infants, one of the three primary schools near the Patch. I wanted to see their raised beds, which were put in by our volunteers three years ago.
They had used the beds and still had beans and beetroot growing.
The children had just harvested and cooked a crop of potatoes and by chance were eating them in the classroom when I arrived!
The school has also added an impressive mini-orchard with three sorts of fruit tree and four sorts of berries. The children are very enthusiastic.
