Planting Day

25/04/2014(Friday) 

Today, we have to teach the students to plant the herbal plants, rosemary, Stevia, mint and hempedu bumi. Besides that, we bought a pot of rose and violet.  Before I go to the school, I do some findings on Stevia, this plant is for diabetes to replace the intake of sugar. I tried the leaf, it tastes sweet. I have learn something new from this project. During the planting session, I asked one of the student whether he did gardening before? I felt surprised that his answer is "no" because he stay at apartment, so it is inconvenience for his family to do planting. He replied me that he found gardening is fun but he preferred to has activities that can play around. For me, I love gardening but I seldom have time to do it when I started my degree in UM. After we done our planting, I really felt satisfy although was tiring. I am looking forward the next visit to see our plants and educate the uses of these herbal plants to the schoolchildren.
