The ?Young Gardeners? were at the garden without supervision?? We got it under control!? continuing with on-going maintenance, but due to rain the time spent at the garden was cut short.
Later in the afternoon the youth presented a hands-on Garden Workshop at the camp with the assistant of Garden Coordinator, Carmen Jones and Program Manager, Suzette Weekes. ?Planting Seeds for the Future?, where each camper? planted seeds of their choice and to provide care for at home then return to the garden at a later date to plant their produce and then harvest during appropriate time.
The campers were given tips on how to care for their seeds as well as information and knowledge around the benefit of wholesome food and healthy lifestyle and physical rewards of gardening. They were also introduce to the concept of GSE program, the opportunity to build our community capacity and engaged our youth to be an advocate and voice for creating strategies and policies to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic; to promote and foster the nutritional and health benefit of eating healthy, as well as to inspiring behavior changes among young people.?
At the end of the session Campers were recognized with a certificate of participation.
