A partnership was initiated between Riebeeck East Combined School and this project during 2009. The aim of the partnership is to help schools establish a sustainable vegetable garden using permaculture principals. From the very start the project was a success due to Headmistress Mrs Petse's dedicated management, so much so that the school won the best community garden award during Umthathi's annual event. Not only does the school boast a fabulous veggie garden, but seedlings are given to the rest of the community members to start their own gardens. A green feast for the eye, and nutritious meals for their families.
