Prizes for gardens
2006-06-22
The annual Woolworths Trust EduPlant competition is now open for entries, and all South African schools with food gardens are invited to participate in this exciting national programme.
The competition is an opportunity for schools to be recognised and rewarded for their efforts in transforming their grounds into environmentally-friendly, food-rich environments.
Woolworths Trust EduPlant, in association with the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, Landcare SA and SABC Education, is South Africa’s leading schools’ food gardening and greening programme that supports schools in the growing of good food in a sustainable, natural way. All entries must be submitted by 30 June.
Sixty-three schools will be chosen to participate in the finals, to be held at the end of September. All finalist schools will travel to
Gauteng for an action-packed three-day event, where they will present their Permaculture food gardening projects to a panel of judges and attend workshops.
Each finalist school will win a cash prize of R500 as well as environmental, health and gardening resources. Additional prize money and resources will be awarded.
