Ajman: Students’ organic produce grown in their school’s backyard will be up for sale on Friday after a successful harvest.

Habitat Al Tallah School in Ajman is organising a Friday Market on February 2 for all their organic vegetables harvested late in January.

Some 1.5 tonnes of vegetables, including corn, shallots, radish, guard, Moringa (flower and stick), potato, capsicum, Agasthy (flower and leaf), pumpkin and tapioca will be sold.

Organic farming is one of the offerings at the school to teach students the importance of living with nature and having concern for their surroundings. The students at the school are taught to cultivate medicinal trees and plants in the open spaces within the school premises as well as in specially designed greenhouses in the campus.

The Friday Market will run from 8am to 11.30am near the front gate of Habitat School Al Tallah in Ajman. The vegetables will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.
