“You reap what you sow.”
Bal Batawaran Nature Club of Shree Kali Devi Higher Secondary School of Lalitpur has been working hard since April 2015 earthquake to re-engage fellow school peers into creative activities. Now, three months long hard work of the club to rebuild school herbal garden is finally showing positive outcome as the garden is slowly flourishing back.
The garden was in ruins with the construction of temporary classrooms (which were built after the collapse of previous classrooms). Since then, the club has worked hard to bring all students together to re-establish the garden. Because of less fertile soil within the garden premise, the club also brought fertile soil from outside to plant herbal saplings.
Club members water the plants after school
“We have been watering and looking after the plants every day after school classes are over”, shares a nature club member. “Following discussion within the club, now each of the class is rotationally looking after the garden. Especially, class 8, 9 and 10 are active in garden protection”, shared Mr. Govinda, the nature club supervisor.
Herbal garden in care
The garden now has over 20 local species of herbal plants. Among them are Acorus Calamus, Cymbopogon citrates, Justicia adhahota, Ocimum sanctum etc. The garden is slowly rejuvenating and the club is hopeful that it will be as beautiful as it was once.
