Clean and Safe space called Mother Earth!
The school surrounding needed lot of beautification and clean air. Moreover it was the scouts who wanted to create and adopt one area as their action for clean environment. They also wanted to learn how to take care of plants and the surrounding. It further motivated me to follow my philosophy of clean and safe environment infuses better health and good learning.
It was implemented in the school surrounding with the help from school authority giving us the space(Area).Beginning of school we cleared and dug the dry land with spades and hoes.We looked for good flower seeds and fertilizers to be put in the garden.We sowed different varieties of plants. We even came up with the idea of hanging garden. Flower pots were hung on the strings. Every morning scouts work in the garden for fifteen minutes.
In fact the whole school with 500 students benefited. The students and teachers enjoy the beautiful garden and admire it. They were also motivated to come with similar idea of clean environment. Some teachers took the initiative of planting plants in different areas with hanging garden too.Even people outside school do not fail to admire and take in the idea. Of all the scouts enjoy working there and always make efforts for further improvement and extension of the garden.
Small projects like this can really help children to use their own creativity and involve them whole hardheartedly.They just need to be motivated and supported. Children of any age can create a clean environment. They develop the love for nature. Henceforth I will go for bigger areas with wide variety of biodiversity.. Thinking of creating an artificial pond too.
