Growing our own Herbs

Today the students were delighted to have the opportunity to start growing their own plants. Mrs. Mila Berhane did a brief presentation about the different herbs and how they can grow them from home before the group ventured outside to see what awaited. Mrs. Mila a Senior Research Associate here on campus at the agricultural center provided a more hands on presentation where the students were able to select from about 40 different herbs that they would like to plant. Each student was given the opportunity to smell and even taste some of the herb grown right here on campus. Each student selected a plant of their choice and was able to take it home to care for it. We are encouraging the kids to grow more herbs now that they know the different uses for a variety of plants.
