Students from grade 6 to 9 of Rustomjee Cambridge International School went for an educational trip to Vishnu Baug in Badlapur on the 19th of June 2010, Saturday. It was a botanical garden. This place is located at the foot hills of Khandala. The students were divided into two groups and each group was taken to different sections of the farm/garden. The students visited the following sections;
· Biogas plant
· Artificial rainforest
· Medicinal plants
· Herbs
· Tissue culture of banana plants
· Trees bearing fruits like chickoo, pomegranate, oranges, and varieties of mango
· Solar lamps
· Drip irrigation
The session concluded by a written quiz for the students as a recap. The trip was very informative and the students learnt a lot. They are looking forward for more such trips.
