NATIONAL NEWS - The national EduPlant greening and food gardening programme competition has received 440 entries from schools across the country this year.
EduPlant teaches educators, learners and communities how to sustainably grow their own food naturally. Out of the 440 entries, 60 schools will be chosen to participate in the finals from 1 to 4 October 2012. Almost 25% of the entries come from the Limpopo province, traditionally a strong region for this competition.
The Western Cape entries have increased threefold from a mere six entries in 2010 to eighteen in 2012. The EduPlant team of permaculture experts are now working through the entries to shortlist 200 of the 440 schools. The shortlisted schools will be visited by the team during July and August when schools will be assessed and the 60 finalists selected.
The 60 finalists will be announced on 1 September 2012. Each finalist school will receive R1 500 and will be invited to four days of workshops, seminars and entertainment culminating in the awards dinner on 4 October in Johannesburg, where the winners will be announced. For more information on the competition, please contact Joanne Carty, EduPlant Programme Manager on 011 656 9802.
