Their long-term vision for the school’s spiritual garden is to have every plant bed fully cultivated by 2027, creating a serene space for the entire school community to admire and use when needed.

As part of their ongoing efforts, the team recently launched a special project - an orange tree planted in memory of the late learner, Gene.

This meaningful addition stands as a tribute and symbolises growth, remembrance and unity within the school.

The dedication of learners toward spiritual and Bible gardens continues to grow, and both students and staff at Amazing Kids Private School and Academy remain committed to reaching even greater milestones in the future.

"Take care of your crops no matter the circumstance," advised Thando Sithumbeko, a grade 8 learner. "Even though the work may seem overwhelming at times, it is always worth it in the end."

Despite supervision from adults, students still face challenges in maintaining the garden.

Kayla Mukwata, one of the learners responsible for its upkeep, shared some of the most common difficulties they encounter: infertile soil, pests and holes in the beds.

She encouraged fellow learners, stating, "No matter what happens, do not procrastinate. The results of hard work are always rewarding."
