Hi Gardeners, My daughter, Vanessa, spent the last 2 months in Ghana. One of her projects was to help create a vegetable garden so the kids at the orphanage could learn to grow, eat, and sell vegetables. I thought some of you might enjoy this. "Yao, our friend that Alec introduced us to,(and who last week introduced us to a scorpion after giving us an antidote) took all four of us to him and his friend's herbal farm. They are both traditional herbal healers and are trying to start a school to educate the next generation about natural healing. We saw and learned about plants used for cancer, anaemia, hypertension, and birth control. And we sampled leaves from the cinnamon tree, lemon grass, and basil. The car smelled really good on the way home." Attached is a picture of part of the herb garden. She is en route home now; we'll pick her up at MSP tomorrow night. :) Georgianne |
