The pots have been selected from the entries of 84 primary schools which took part in the 1995-96 Primary School Children Vegetables Growing (in pots) Competition.
A prize-giving and exhibition opening ceremony for the competition will be held at the Hong Kong Teachers' Centre, 4 Pak Fuk Road, North Point at 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
The growing of vegetables is an educational activity, not only providing opportunities for children to study the growing of plants through observation and practice, but also promoting awareness in school children of the need to care for plants. to ameliorate the environment.
The competition is organised by the Education Department in co-operation with the Agriculture and Fisheries Department and sponsored by Choi Hing Lee Seed Company.
