Meeting (21st of March)

The main agenda of today's meeting was to discuss the activities we would be carrying out throughout the entire duration of our Earth Month. Members were then divided into groups to carry out certain tasks. One group checked on the plants at the Orchard Garden and Mini Eco Forest, labeling plants which did not have labels previously and removing dead plants. Another group was asked to arrange plants along the walkway leading from our to the Herbs Garden, to liven up the walkway.

Some of our members were asked to cut the coupons which will be used for the inter-house Bring Your Own Tupperware competition, while other members weeded the herbs garden before covering the ground with black plastic trash bags. This was done to prevent the soil from being exposed to sunlight, as this will encourage the unwanted sprouting of weeds. A layer of coconut husk was then scattered over the black plastic bags to maximize the effectiveness of our measures to prevent weeds from sprouting.

Another group of our members were asked to put up labels along our Orchid Walkway, so that as people walk along the orchid walkway, they could identify and learn more about the orchids bordering the walkway. The meeting was adjourned at 4.30 pm, leaving our members feeling beyond exhausted, but glad at the same time for it was a very productive meeting.
