A PATHWAY OF GREEN
Al Sadiq Islamic English School gave themselves to the enjoyment of gardening over five years ago , in 2013 .
The journey with plants began with a small patch of grassland and the school has since worked its way up to a greenhouse . In this featured article , we explore the benefits Al Sadiq Islamic school has reaped from their gardening programme .
Al Sadiq Islamic School , Sharjah
At Al Sadiq , gardening provides a dynamic environment to the students in which they observe , discover , experiment , nurture , and learn . While it ’ s a wonderful way to teach young minds environmental stewardship , gardening itself provides an inexorable atmosphere for students to catch on to the 21st century learning skills . Furthermore , getting to experience the art firsthand , builds curiosity in new areas and creates awareness of the importance of farming . It thus helps to extend the boundaries and scope of the formal educational system by encouraging creativity and improving student ' s awareness to take constructive action for a sustainable living environment .
The roots of gardening in Al Sadiq began with the first get together of students from the 10th and 11th grade ,
under the supervision of the science teachers , to plant various seeds with the promise of an effective organic garden in the future . Since then , the roots have never ceased innovating and seizing new ideas to implement . Organic gardening has brought an abundance of harvests of plants ranging from ; cucumbers , lettuce , tomatoes , broccolis , capsicums to a variety of herbs .
