Children's Organic Gardening Workshop - November 10, 2024

Theme: PLANT POWER

  Cultivate, Propagate and Jubilate

 Date:     Sunday, November 10th, 2024
Time:    1:00 pm - 4:00pm
Fee:       GHC300 (pre-registration is required)
Accra Venue: Given to participants.upon registration
 

In our Children's Organic Gardening Workshop, each child learns about growing plants and gardening; they learn why it is important to grow organically; they also learn how to work in the garden, dig in the dirt, plant seedlings, and also water and nurture plants.  There will even be surprise takeaways for all! 
  
 Background
In these dynamic times, its quite obvious that having a thriving home garden has become an important must-have to support our whole well-being.  Whether we grow one plant or one-hundred, it's time to get going and get growing.  This includes not only adults, but also our children.
 

One of the most important things we can do for our children (and ourselves) is to get them into the garden.  Outdoor gardening experiences positively impact their minds- not just in the moment, but for a lifetime!  

 
It has also been observed that children are more interested in eating fresh veggies and fruits when they know how they are grown and when they harvest the produce themselves.  
 


 

 
Every child can benefit from this garden adventure of a lifetime!  Invest in your child's future by helping them develop an endless love for plants and nature now. 
  

Take-Aways
*Let your children be NURTURED BY NATURE, as they cultivate their gardening skills, as well as well as cultivating skill and knowledge in Responsibility, Creativity, Independence, Nutrition, Confidence, Discovery, Resilience, Peace and so much more.  
 

*Each child gets a plant to take home.  We send out a list of plants for the children to choose from when they are registered. They will also receive other plant materials to take home and germinate and propagate.


Dress Code-
 *This is a hands-on workshop.  Children should dress to dig in the dirt by wearing gardening clothing and hats and they are free to bring shovels, pails and gloves, if they choose.  
 

Age Limit-
*None.  We have even had infants take the class with their parents, so any age child.
 
 
*All children must be in the company of an adult for the entire workshop, please.

*Children can bring a notebook and a pen/pencil to take garden notes.


Kindly message  whatsapp +233-53-752-1055 for registering details or to ask questions.
 
 
Lovely day!

PEST CONTROL- Neem Oil



NEEM (SEED) OIL for PEST CONTROL
 

Neem Oil can be used to treat a number of garden challenges, including:
·  Insects: Neem oil kills or repels many harmful insects and mites, including aphids, caterpillars, whiteflies, snails, nematodes, mealybugs, cabbage worms, gnats, moths, cockroaches, flies, termites, mosquitoes, and scale. It kills some bugs outright, attacks the larvae of others, and repels plant eaters with its bitter taste.
·  Fungus: Neem oil is also effective in preventing fungal diseases such as mildew, black spot, anthracnose and rust.
·  Disease: Neem oil also combats viruses that can harm plants.

Active Ingredient- Azadirachtin is the most active ingredient in Neem Oil.  It reduces insect feeding, and acts as an insecticide and repellant.  It also arrests the metamorphosis of insects at all stages- egg, caterpillar, pupae and adulthood. For example, Azadirachtin interferes with insect hormone systems, making it harder for insects to grow and lay eggs.   Azadirachtin can also repel and reduce the feeding of nematodes.

Advantages of Neem Oil- Neem oil is a popular choice in organic gardens because it is:
·  Nontoxic: Neem Oil is considered nontoxic to humans, birds, and other animals as well and can be used on fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants.
·  Organic: Neem Oil is derived from organically-grown neem trees.
·  Biodegradable: Neem Oil breaks down quickly and leaves no lasting residue.

Neem Oil Application:
For Spray bottle:
üAdd 2ml (.5 teaspoons) liquid soap (we recommend black soap) to a 1.5l water bottle (3/4 full); shake vigorously.
ü Add 5ml (1 teaspoon) neem oil to the soap mixture and shake vigorously. 
ü Pour into spray bottle and apply.

For 15 litre spray pack:
ü Add 20ml (4 teaspoons) liquid soap (we recommend black soap) to a 1.5l water bottle (3/4 full); shake vigorously.
ü Add 50ml (10 teaspoons) neem oil to the soap mixture and shake vigorously. 
ü Pour the mixture into 15l sprayer containing the remaining water.  

*Please spray all aspects of the plant, especially under the leaves.  
*A 250ml bottle of Neem Oil covers about 1 acre.  A 1-litre bottle covers about 4 acres.
*Spraying is most effective when done after 4 p.m.
*It is best to keep the bottle out of direct sunlight and heat- in a cool, dry place.
