On Wednesday, November 6, we held an EcoHuertos Induction Workshop at the Youth School Club in Development on Tiradentes Avenue, La Agustina in front of the Cristo Libre de Cristo Rey Park rotunda in Santo Domingo.
There were 39 participants at the workshop, comprised of students, teachers, staff and parents.
It was very comfortable to be in the classroom where the following signs were hanging on the wall: “The garden can help us with our economy,” “We can build with our own hands. We are making our garden,” “Together we can build our school garden.”
Through various work dynamics we defined the garden concept and presented ideas about the different types of gardens and plants we could grow and how to care for them. We gave each participant a copy of the manual “How to Make a School Garden” and explained the content of the book and how to use and consult it.
Finally, the group established individual and group commitments among those in attendance regarding the future of the school garden they will create.
