Conditioning and Sowing the Manuel del Cabral, Fe y Alegría School Orchard

October 29th, 2015

Yesterday, under the supervision of Professor Roberto Fabián Moreno and the coordination of Cristiana Cruz Minier from EcoHuertos, students of the Technical School Manuel del Cabral, Fe y Alegría, in Santo Domingo, conditioned and sowed their school orchard. 

At 11.00 am, 25 students met at the orchard to follow instructions to prepare the orchard to the planting. They, also, participated to an interactive conversation on the basics of cultivation where the characteristics of the plants and seeds, donated by the garden IDIAF in Pantoja, were explained. 

In the afternoon, the Technical School Manuel del Cabral, Fe y Alegría, had an orchard planted with tomato, basil, baby spinach, chard, romaine lettuce, radish, pepper, onion, regular spinach and squash.
