Delicious, healthy, and decorative: WU School Garden offers its own produce for Advent

As it does every year during the Christmas season, the School Garden elective course (WU) is offering its homegrown products in the Steinmühle teachers’ lounge. WU Director María Ramos: “The products are very diverse. Currant jam from the garden, quince chutney, oregano salt, as well as beeswax candles from the Altenschlirf Living-and-Working Community, individually decorated matches, lavender sachets, and beautiful Advent wreaths.” Potential customers are the teaching staff, with purchases made on a donation basis.

WU sends its proceeds to its Tanzanian partner school, “One World School Kilimanjaro.” María Ramos: “This allows us to support projects there, including the chicken project, which provides Tanzanian students with eggs and meat.”

Last school year, WU was able to donate 250.00 euros to One World School. The students hope to exceed that amount this year.
