The MHS Garden Project plan is to include schools and family units to grow fresh vegetables in order to supplement their own meal requirements at selected schools and homes.
Midlands Hindu Society has been able to build partnerships with suppliers and other similar minded organizations, viz. Sunshine Seedlings, Gandhi Memorial Committee, Mr Prakash Satyapal, and Jessica from the NPO Uplift our Knowledge”, as well as the Capital Media Group.
Through Phase 1 of this partnership, MHS is able to offer 10 schools 250 seedlings each and 10 families 5 “medium size” plants packs of Cabbage, Spinach & Cauliflower plants already in compost and round plastic bags which will make it easier to transplant. The seedlings will require nurturing for a further 4 to 8 weeks before the vegetables will be ready for harvesting.
