PERMA SCHOOL GARDEN

      We need Renewable Development and make KISUMU to a permaculture hotspot.   We should transform existing fallow-lying land with biointensive activities into edible landscapes and teach our children in organic farming skills.   Which we need here in East Africa are lasting jobs for humans around to stop hunger and that starts with teaching the children on organic farming skills, to develop a system to learn to be self-sufficient.   With biointensive Permaculture out broke lying surfaces around schools and churches become edible and flowering landscapes. Especially here in Millimani   Only when children learn skills in organic agriculture, if possible, in biointensive agriculture they understand and respect the soil, which is learned in responsibility in compost, seeds saving, the growth process of the different plants, and in which the children are treated according to social basic rules. This gives them slo...

During the visit to our permaculture garden, the children can work in small areas, for example helping with transplanting.  All seeds must be repotted into larger containers after 2 weeks, and for tomatoes, for example, this must be done twice. They see the growth and can follow how the repotted plants develop from week to week. For example, with lettuce we can follow this closely.

Start with putting seeds in a seed bed or in a small container. That's the beginning and the interesting thing is when the children see the little plant come out next week. For this purpose, special soil is used that is very rich in nutrition and gives the seed the decisive kick.
