The Cayo District Agriculture Department in collaboration with the Cooperative Department assisted the Bullet Tree Seventh Day Adventist School and the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic School in Bullet Tree Falls Village with their school garden.

Both schools received seeds and seedlings that included: cucumber, coriander, radish, habanero pepper, jalapeño, cabbages and tomatoes.

The cultivated crops will be used in the school feeding program and will focus on the promotion of a healthy lifestyle for the children by giving them a better idea of the concept ‘From farm to table.

Special thanks go out to the Santa Familia Grains, Vegetables and Legumes Co-operative for lending their rototiller to do the land preparation for the school, as well as Extension Officer Mr. Franklin Padron for assisting in the land preparation.
