We continue the vocational training in Botanica Life gardens. This time, students from the Professional High School of Agriculture in the town of Popovo came to our gardens. On Monday, we worked together with the eighth-graders, and on Wednesday, we rolled up our sleeves with ninth-grade students. 

There is a lot of work to do at this time of year, to prepare the garden for the winter season. The students collected the autumn gifts of earth, cleared the garden and the greenhouse, took the plant waste to the compost heap and learned more about the benefits of composting. After clearing the garden, they carefully watered the vegetables that still remain in the ground. The greenhouse, where we are expecting to harvest the earliest vegetables next year, was mulched with straw. Some seedlings for the garden will also spend the winter in there. 

We thank the students for their devoted work and the school staff for our partnership!

The work does not stop here, and we expect more helpers and students.
