Blossom Seedlings Camp

It was a bright and sunny day on the 9th of June, 30 parents and children set off from Blossom World Society  to Bollywood Veggies, also known as ‘Heaven’ to some.

Upon arrival, they enjoyed a tour of the orchard and delved into the world of flora and fauna, tasting little purple flowers, recognising the different species of bananas and a source of dye bestowed by Mother Nature: the red Mexican fruit. 

Lipstick Plant (the red fruits of this tree are used to make red body paint and lipstick)

There was also an experiential activity for both parents and children as they took to the fields to hand-plant rice seedlings under the hot sun, experiencing firsthand the everyday toil and hard work of farmers to appreciate them even more for the food that we have on our table. They also made use of the natural colouring from flowers to create cute little bags.

During lunchtime, they were treated to the flavours of the garden and also created their very own lemongrass drink from the lemongrass grown by Bollywood Veggies. 

This activity enabled both parents and children to learn about and appreciate how much Mother Nature has sought to benefit them and in turn, to develop gratitude and to contribute back to Mother Nature.

2018喜悦幼苗营@Bollywood Veggie

9/6阳光灿烂的一天，30位孩子与家长从喜悦出发，直往有“天堂”之称的“宝莱坞”有机园。到达园地孩子与家长，首先由向导带领园地体验，孩子亲手採拮与品尝紫色小花；认识香蕉的不同种类，知道香蕉不是干树类而是灌木类。还有红色的墨西哥果实可以用做天然的化妆色素，田园的丰富资源增广了孩子的见闻。

亲子活动中孩子与家长一起在稻米田，和乐融融脚踏稻田泥沼，太阳当空下插秧种稻，体会到农夫种植的辛苦。亲子还共同用各种花朵做为染色原料，制作可爱的小帆布袋。

午餐时间，孩子和家长享用了田园风格的特色美食，还有採自园中的香茅制成的芳香香茅水。

今天的活动认识到万物赐与的恩惠，孩子和家长也体会到要以感恩的心回馈大地的一切。
