Vegetable Gardens & Internet for Indian Youth
TGC students at Father Vijay's Middle School
Students at Father Vijay's English Middle School will all benefit from the nutritious leafy produce grown with The Growing Connection. Two of the school's container gardens are shown at the bottom right of the photo. The white "shower cap" will help protect the plants from harsh weather.
Students and teachers preping the container garden
Water is held in a reservoir in the bottom of the container garden box. Plants only use what they need, conserving water in times of drought.
