Our pilot Ecobrick Food Forest Garden is in full bloom at Balili elementary. I took this shot three days ago as several students enjoyed their lunch surrounded by vegetables, herbs and edible leaves. Note the ready-hanging beans and eggplant in the top of the photo! These students often have humble lunches– the center girl had only rice and a hotdog for her meal. I showed her how to tear up and add basil to her dish to add some flavour (and of course some much needed nutrients). The park is a showcase of how simple ecobricking can yield massively pratical results for schools… but most of all for the young humans that inhabit them.
