One of their local farmers came on the planting day to teach the children about the importance of environmental protection and the benefits of agriculture in cities. Together with Rotarian volunteers, they all had fun planting the first crop of the project, which included organic herbs and vegetables. In the coming months, they will learn to monitor the growth of the plants and eventually harvest them to bring home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">5G nbiot devices were also installed to monitor the moisture content of the planters and hopefully more children will learn about STEM through regular programming of the devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns coblocks-animate eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-f1522a\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image \">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image001-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3621\" width=\"397\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image001-4.jpg 318w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image001-4-240x320.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image \">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image002-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image002-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image002-3-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image002-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image002-3-382x254.jpg 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by P Angela Wong of RC of Kowloon North Jointly orga &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3621,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[106,116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-april-2023","category-supporting-the-environment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3620"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3628,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3620\/revisions\/3628"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2223.rid3450.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
