Ag Fest 2012Hui Malama students and staff are full of enthusiasm at the Agricultural Festival April 7, held at the Maui Tropical Plantation. They have been tending a “Victory Garden” on the grounds there as part of this year’s curriculum. Mahalo to Beth Mathias, ex-officio board member, for the group photo!

The Victory Garden land was generously offered by the Plantation, and working with The Maui County Farm Bureau, Ka`uhane Inc., Maui School Garden Network, Pukalani Plant Company, Community Work Day, and Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, our students were able to plant, maintain, and harvest its produce to share with the community.
