Herbal Garden
The school has Herbal Garden, where children got the opportunity to learn about the medicinal plants by actually planting the medicinal herbs and watching them grow in their gardens, and by exploring information about them from various sources. . Herbal garden is of immense value to educate the children about the ancient treasure of Indian Ayurvedic way of treatment. Students are taken by the teachers to the herbal garden, where the scientific names and the uses of these medicinal plants are also displayed.
The task of making the garden itself has been enriching in terms of making children realize the importance of team work such as detailed planning, and allocation of tasks within a team. For the teachers, herbal garden project has been useful in terms of ease with which they could integrate the concept with other subject matter activities, such as writing essays, poems and stories, making posters, drawing and painting, making herbariums, and even preparing food recipe using some of the culinary herbs students have planted in their gardens.
