 Brief Description
Our inspiring initiative worked on creating a garden for medicinal plants and herbs at our school. Students were educated about the importance of taking care of their land and about the great benefits of medical herbs and plants in their lives. Moreover, our main goal was to replace some chemical medicines or drugs with medical herbs that can cure several diseases. Besides, this initiative worked on training students how to plant and use such herbs and then share that knowledge outside their school.

 Outstanding Aspects
Our project was an outstanding one as it played as an alternative for chemical medicines or drugs and as a return to medical plants that can cure several diseases. It was also valuable and inspiring because students learnt how to grow and understood several scientific terms easier. More importantly, some plant species worldwide are threatened with extinction and so this project worked on conserving and managing some rare plants.
 
The impact of the initiative
The project had a great positive effect on teachers and their students. For instance, it was connected to real life situations and so students were able to apply what they learnt in their science and health lessons on the medical plants and herbs of their garden. Some ill students also recovered from diseases such as headache, cough, stomach ache and voice cracks.
 
Success factors
The success of our project was clearly seen in the effective cooperation and interaction between students, teachers, the school administration and the local community. For example, students and teachers used the lost water in irrigating the plant and worked together to take care of the garden.
 
Challenges and difficulties
Hesitating and fear from failure was the main challenge we had. However, our collaboration and raising awareness campaigns made it come true.
 
Interests and interaction caused by the initiative
Luckily, our educational initiative got a great interest from parents, the local community and the school through its eager to plan, to carry out and to exchange experiences.
