Let your child build confidence and courage through hands-on farming experiences — a meaningful step in their growth journey!
By observing nature and engaging with the unknown, we encourage curiosity and understanding. Through experiential learning, children gain a deep appreciation for the hard work behind every bowl of rice, from a tiny seedling to the final harvest and discover the value of food.
Join us on August 30 (Saturday) for a Family Farming Experience Workshop! The event features a live demonstration on harvesting water caltrops by a local Shui Hau farmer, and the chance for parents and children to try harvesting water caltrops and planting rice seedlings together — experiencing both ecology and agriculture in action.
