Junior Master Gardner At Work
The moment that we have all been waiting for finally arrived on 13th January, 2023. The innovative Junior Master Gardener program held its first information session at the American Centre at Copperbelt University in Kitwe.
An excellent session was led by Sally Yambayamba the CEO of Modern Agriculture Solutions with the children exhibiting keen interest in the information shared. It was an interactive time that attested to the fact that there is great interest amongst children in gardening and farming. Their enthusiasm was unbeatable and the company team were second to none in their encouragement of the young future gardeners and farmers.
The program is one of the new product lines for 2023 aimed at promoting the culture and love of gardening in children and youth aged between 5 and 19. The product will “Build a framework for knowledge and exchange“. The company provides information each person needs to become the best gardener they can be. This product will focus on “Building a community of successful Home Gardeners” Gardening boosts creativity and inspiration, improves mental health, fosters trust and close relationships, and raises cultural awareness. It gives a sense home and belonging, as well as a safe, encouraging environment in which to learn new things. This new product line also promotes a better lifestyle through gardening as gardening is a great way to produce healthy food at home. In this program the company provides participants with the products they need to start their own garden at home so that they can grow, prepare and eat healthy produce made on their own.
By the end of the session the young participants were so excited that they insisted on being given a tour of the Demo plot that the company has at its Farmer Knowledge Hub in Luto at a date to be agreed . So for all those that did not participate in the information session keep your eyes glued to our website so that you don’t miss out on this exciting tour.
