The establishment of Irish potatoes and onion gardens at Malomo CDSS is taking shape. Using $982.45 of grant funds, Malomo CDSS Mother Group has planted two acres of Irish Potatoes and one acre of onions. Tree nursery will be established in October, closer to the rainy season to ensure survivability of the trees once planted. Proceeds from selling produce from the gardens and the tree seedlings will be used to support vulnerable female learners from the school.
