Canossian School is one of the early adopters of building an edible garden within their school compound, with the assistance of Edible Garden City. This permaculture food garden grows around 40 varieties of plants and fruits, and is used as a sensory garden for the students. To inspire creativity, heritage wood and old doors were also used in the construction of the garden, creating a welcoming and rustic space that is rooted in history, yet accessible and enjoyable to the young. The bountiful harvests of produce like sweet potato leaves and bananas are distributed to the disadvantaged.

Lam Soon continues its partnership with Edible Garden City to help upkeep the Canossian School’s 300m2 garden. Moving forward, more teachers will participate in the upkeeping of the garden, and more students will engage with the garden through Arts and Science curriculum.
