Celebrate Arbor Week!

South Africa's Arbor Week 2011 comes to an end today - celebrate the day by planting a tree! We recently asked our learners in our horticulture training courses at both the Leeuwkop and Johannesburg Central Correctional Facilities about their favourite lesson so far and many responded that it was learning about trees, their names and their purpose.

The official trees for 2011 are the Jacket-plum (common) and Bride's Bushes and the Common Wild Elder (rare) - find these and other trees at two of Hlumelelisa's partners Food and Trees for Africa and the Tiqwa School nursery.

Hlumelelisa learners at the Leeuwkop Correctional Facility shade house facility which is home to many of the trees grown by our students.
