Last Friday and Monday we had 120
students visit us from from Bayswater Primary School.
At NCG we had only experienced small
groups before at the Medicinal Weeds
tour during Eco Festival in March, so such a big group of students was a challenge. The
advantage of the visit was that Bayswater is an Enviro school, so this visit
could be an exchange between “professionals”
- and it was. It was very uplifting to have feedback from and interaction with
students.
Our program was full of activities: sniffing lemon balm, watching chickens, we
told about Yacon- special plant, there was a quiz concerning a bee balm . The students
tried our famous nettle tea, and experienced hands massage with bee balm cream.
At the finish they received a gift –with the sweetest plant on the earth – Stevia.
Not only from students and teachers I also
had very good feedback from the volunteers running NCG , so I feel like this
experience can be a foundation for our future friendship and cooperation with the Bayswater Primary .
