We have recently been involved in the renovation of the greenhouse – this is now an ongoing project. This began with a visit to the school through the auspices of the Sustainability Week organized by Jessica Gomez. David Bravo visited the school and gave a wonderful talk about how to grow tomatoes, visited our greenhouse and gave us advice as to what we should do to produce our own tomatoes.

With the help of the school´s gardeners the greenhouse was power-washed clean.  Another incredibly generous donation, this time from Juan Manuel Moreno and Isabella Echevery has helped us erect suspension wires so that we will be able to grow tomatoes and beans in the greenhouse. From the materials needed to suspend the wires, to the tools we needed to complete the work, this donation is helping us get the greenhouse up and running once again.
