In the late afternoon, when students leave school, it is also the time when teachers of Hoa Lan Kindergarten (Quang Truc commune, Lam Dong province) gather in the small garden of the school.
Not afraid of the sun, wind or rain, the teachers diligently cultivated each bed of soil and watered each bunch of vegetables.
Therefore, in recent times, the image of teachers taking care of the sickle tray, vegetable beds, water spinach, Malabar spinach, Malabar spinach... has become a simple and touching beauty in the border area.
What makes the "loving vegetable garden" special is the companionship of parents.
Some build platforms for gourd and pumpkin; some carry cow manure and watermelon to improve the soil; others contribute to pouring concrete for the road to make the vegetable garden more neat and clean. Those simple and warm gestures have lit up the spirit of sharing and attachment between family and school.
The vegetable garden not only brings fresh, nutritious food to the boarding meals of children, but also conveys in it love and responsibility.
Each row of lush green vegetables is the crystallization of sweat and effort; is a testament to the thoughtful care of teachers and parents, so that parents can feel more secure in leaving their children.
Not only stopping at nutritional value, the garden has also become a "life lesson" for children. The students were sown seeds, peeled grass, and watered with her.
From those small things, children learn to love work, cherish every meal and practice patience - valuable lessons that books are unlikely to bring.
Ms. Le Thi Chuyen - Principal of Hoa Lan Kindergarten - shared that although the vegetable garden is not large, it contains many meanings. This is where teachers and parents join hands to take care of children, both improving boarding meals and creating an intuitive learning environment, close to nature.
We hope that, from these small experiences, they will grow up healthy, love work and share, Ms. Chuyen expressed.
The green vegetable growing movement at Hoa Lan Kindergarten not only helps save costs and improve meals for students but also contributes to building a "green - clean - beautiful - safe" school environment - in line with the orientation that the education sector is aiming for.
Flower Garden of Love is not only a green space in schools, but also a green space in the soul - a place that sows the seeds for the love of life and the belief in a future generation who knows how to cherish, share and preserve good values.
