When a child plants a seed, they are growing more than food - they are learning how to nourish their own future. 🥬✨

This , we’re celebrating thousands of young learners across South Africa who are getting their hands dirty in EduPlant school food gardens. Through permaculture education, learners discover how healthy soil creates nutritious food. Ordinary schoolyards are being transformed into living classrooms and are providing fresh additions to daily school meals.

Teaching children to grow organic vegetables and care for fruit trees builds lifelong self-reliance, instils pride and rekindles a natural wonder for the Earth. 🌱

The EduPlant programme is proudly funded and supported by Tiger Brands, whose ongoing partnership enables us to empower hundreds of school communities nationwide with sustainable food gardens and vital nutrition.

No chemical pesticides needed! Watch our learners take their lessons outdoors to brew up a powerful, organic pest remedy using chilli.

During our EduPlant workshop days, students get hands-on experience creating natural solutions - like chilli oil sprays - to protect their growing gardens.

This eco-friendly method keeps unwanted bugs at bay without harming the soil, beneficial insects or the produce they harvest! Hands-on permaculture skills like this stay with learners for life. 🌱✨

Making hands-on, sustainable learning possible with the support of Tiger Brands 🌶️🙌

This Arbor Day, as we put young hands in the soil, we are watching a spark of wonder ignite for the natural world.

Behind concrete schoolyards and high classroom walls are young learners growing up separated from the living Earth. When children lose touch with nature, we lose more than just green space, we lose the sense of awe, innate care, and connection that binds us to the planet.

Through our EduPlant programme, we are bringing nature back to the heart of education. In this cycle alone, over 700 schools across South Africa are receiving trees to transform their grounds into vibrant, living spaces. 🌱

These trees serve a powerful double purpose: they green and beautify school environments, creating shaded sanctuaries and restoring local biodiversity, while also bolstering food security with fruit-bearing trees that nourish young bodies and minds.

Through EduPlant we are rekindling a child's wonder for the Earth. When learners watch a tree take root, tend to its growth, and pick fresh fruit from its branches, nature stops being a lesson in a textbook. It becomes a living teacher, a source of nutrition, and a shared commitment to our common future.

Thank you to for helping EduPlant cultivate a wilder, healthier, and greener South Africa, together. 🌳✨

Did you know carrots weren’t always orange? Long ago, almost all cultivated carrots were actually purple or yellow! It wasn't until the 17th century that Dutch growers began cross-breeding yellow and red carrots to create the bright orange veggies we eat today.
