Functional Educational Garden Sustainability Project

Participants of the GLL program from SLIIT identified Nugadanda Badrawathi Primary School — a school with limited access to experiential education, a gap common among under-resourced schools within the Sri Lankan education framework. A functional educational garden program was developed and delivered as a workshop for 15 selected students, designated as Garden Leaders and tasked with both learning and passing on knowledge to future students. The program covered: planting a new school garden with a continuity plan; an interactive session on plant types, sustainability, and garden maintenance; and a structured maintenance system with assigned roles to ensure long-term sustainability.
