Last year, Kieran and Nicole, teachers at pt Chevalier school did a"crops for Christchurch". They invited everyone, students and parents to bring their crops, flowers, fruits and baked stuff. It was a fantastic exercise. http://ann-mythoughtsandphotos.blogspot.co.nz/2011/03/skywatch-friday-crop-for-christchurch.html
This year, they are doing it again. The beneficiary is Nepal, a country close to my heart with my connection with the Con-joint twins Ganga and Jamuna. http://annkschin.blogspot.co.nz/2009/01/siamese-babies.html
Among the crops for sale were dahlias. A flower grown in a house garden can just be as beautiful as a florist's flower. I bought a little bunch in a yoghurt container and gave it to my mentor. Some little kid must have brought it to school. I am also also sending by cyber mail to a friend L I met through Facebook. Her dad was my teacher. My mum used to grow this in Borneo.
Crops for Charity is starting again this Friday morning...lots of spare crops from everyones gardens! Cheers, Keren
