Who Organised the Activity and How Was It Done? This garden-to-table activity was organised by the teaching team as part of a hands-on learning unit about food and sustainability. Students took the lead in growing their own potatoes and peppers, learning how to prepare the soil, ensure proper sunlight and watering, and care for their plants over time. As part of their exploration into healthy soil, the class also learned about earthworms and their role in keeping soil rich and fertile.

Growing potatoes and peppers (Primary)
- Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Choose easy vegetables like potatoes and peppers that grow well and are simple for students to care for. Let them take part in the whole process—planting, growing, picking, and even cooking the food. Make it fun and hands-on so they enjoy learning, especially when they get to taste what they’ve grown. Use the activity to talk about healthy eating, taking care of the planet, and how their small actions can make a big difference.
