Jehvari hails from the urban city of Kingston and joined the Budding Farmers Grow Club in May 2021. His journey carried him through the highs and lows of gardening but he still managed to pull his family and community together with his little garden.

Since becoming a Budding Farmer, Jehvari has reaped a bounty of produce from his garden including okra, cassava, pak choi, ribena, cucumber, gungo peas.

We sat down with Jehvari, and had him share his experiences.

What do you enjoy most about the Grow Club?

I enjoy all Grow Club activities as they are fun and exciting. However my favourite part was when we did our planting. I usually plant seeds from fruits and vegetables I ate. By the way, I was the top Budding Farmer last year! (smiling)

What’s your favourite topic?

Composting was an interesting topic. I had fun learning that I don’t have to throw away any peels or waste from certain produce, and how to make my own composting bucket.

What are you looking forward to the most in the next session?

I am looking forward to planting more food so that my mommy and I can cook together. Also, I am looking forward to the Grow Club being at my school.

There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments.
