Masizani Primary School - EduPlant Finalist 2023

At Masizani Primary School (Gauteng) the Natural Science educator has been assigned a section of the garden for an outdoor classroom. Natural Science and Social Science topics taught using the garden include photosynthesis, the life cycles of plants, water management in plants, rainforest functioning, and plant reproduction. The community members assisting in the garden have been highly successful in composting, creating pit beds and raised beds, rockeries, mulch pits and water diversion drains. The garden now produces around 5 kg of fresh leafy greens every week.
