Live Aloha Day 2010
Posted On: Jun 02, 10 
Come join us on Saturday, June 19th at Waikiki Elementary School for Kanu Hawaii’s Live Aloha Day, where we will be working on two major projects: completing the plant nursery and building an aquaponics system. Other gardening jobs will include weeding, raking, mulching, and watering in one of our many gardens and fruit tree orchards. Waikiki Elementary School students will conduct a garden tour for interested volunteers, and provide information about organic gardening and seed starting. They will also hold a plant sale and Student Farmer’s Market.
The Waikiki Elementary School garden program is a 3200-square foot “Food Farm” that includes organic heirloom tomatoes, fruit trees, ‘outdoor-classroom’ plant nursery, and Kokua Hawaii Foundation ‘AINA In Schools teaching gardens. Everything was built by community volunteers with donations and grants.
By growing food directly on campus, students learn first-hand about the knowledge and hard work required to produce what we eat.
Please bring any tools you may have, a water bottle, sunscreen, and pack a dish for three to share for a potluck lunch. We will provide cold water for refill.
