Green Team // Organic Community Garden

The Green team visited the centre a few weeks ago, offering us some useful and knowledgeable information on how to keep our environment healthy and green.

Thanks guys !

Check out there site here

They also told me a bit more about another project they did with the Youth Centre, which was a community garden.  We grew two types of swish chard, green onions, Tomatoes, three types of lettuce and parsley. 

This week myself and some staff and youth from the youth centre were able to pick some of the swish chard, lettuce, parsley and green onions.

With all the fresh organic veggies we made a salad ( with some Mandarin oranges we gad )and cooked the swish chard with some onion's and soy sauce. yum yum.

What a nice lunch !

Hope you all enjoy your weekend !
