Darmaji Regenerative Agriculture Learning Garden: Dry Season Update 🌱

When the rain stops and the dry season arrives, farming takes a different approach. At Darmaji Regenerative Agriculture learning Garden, our Darmaji students learn that agriculture is not only about planting and harvesting, but also about caring for the land, conserving resources, and preparing for the next growing season.

During this period, students focus on maintaining the garden and strengthening the foundation for future crops. Stored rainwater is carefully managed to support essential activities, while organic compost production continues to enrich the soil with nutrients for future planting.

At the school learning garden, students carry out regular maintenance activities, including watering existing crops, removing weeds, producing compost, and applying organic fertiliser. Although the dry season limits crop production, students were still able to harvest 1 kg of pakcoy, 1 kg of komak beans (hyacinth beans), and 15 kg of taro, providing hands-on learning experiences and fresh food for their families.

In their home gardens, students have also been busy improving their own land by servicing the terraces to reduce soil erosion and preparing for the next planting season. Some have successfully maintained crops such as tomatoes, pakcoy, eggplants, and mustard greens.

Through every season, Darmaji Learning Garden teaches students that sustainable organic farming requires patience, care, and resilience. 🌿

We express our sincere appreciation to PT Mitra Prodin CSR for supporting this regenerative agriculture learning journey.
