Happy plants
Thanks to the person who added a smile to our aubergine plant in the hydroponics tower last week. Spreading joy through nature!
I never knew!

During Incredible edible I learned about the composting process in our school as I took part in it one session, before this service I never knew how our school discarded excess leaves or plant based waste. Another thing I learnt was about weeding and how to differentiate plants from weeds. I really enjoyed this service and it was very fun to take part in.
Pure outdoors
Hanseol Kang (9FYA)
I had some enjoyable moments such as cutting down trees, watering plants and much more.
Well, now I know how to distinguish weeds from plants, some amazing techniques to cut down banana trees and a lot of different ways to water plants.
Not through coursework or anything. From pure outdoor experience.
P.s. cutting down trees was such a fun experience.
Always Fun!

As the first service since I came to this school, Incredible Edible was a very rewarding experience to me. I have learned many new things and skills not only about gardening and plants, but also have I learned many things about teamwork. Particularly I have experienced how important teamwork is as I could rely on our team. In many situations we didn’t know how to do certain tasks, but we always managed to find it out together. I certainly enjoyed going to our small garden at the transition between the maths block and the high school building every Thursday and to occasionally chop off a papaya tree, distinguish between weeds and plants and to clear the composts etc. Learning about new plants, how to garden new plants and how to take care of them was always fun and ‘incredible’! The few ‘edible’ treats, like the tea made of butterfly pea flowers that we picked ourselves, was very nice and refreshing to drink.
Deeper connections

This is the first service I had at this UWC, Incredible Edible is truly an experience. It was an experience not many people could experience. We would gather after school, go down to the garden and start gardening. We learnt about how to distinguish different plants. We even used things we grew like Butterfly Pea flower to make a drink out of it. We don’t only grow plants to consume it, we grow them for the environment. Furthermore, I didn’t only learn about how plants grew, I learnt about teamwork and I developed friendships, made deeper connections with my fellow schoolmates. It is a lifetime experience to cut down a banana tree or just see plants grow in front of my eyes. I took away more than I expect from this service, and I would love to continue to learn after this experience.
