In Ourika’s all-girls boarding school, we established a 6000 m2 botanical garden in collaboration with ABDBO, which has hosted our environmental education program since 2014. We facilitate interactive workshops designed to develop the girls’ skills and knowledge of plant conservation, plant uses, permaculture techniques, and traditional conservation practices.
The girls help with the planting, cultivating thousands of seeds in the garden’s greenhouse, which they share with their families, friends, and communities. Most importantly, they reap the rewards of their hard work by harvesting delicious fruits and vegetables that sustain the school’s meals for 130 resident students and staff.
