Spicing up the Gardens with Ginger!

Ginger cultivation has become a main involvement in the St Stanislaus Garden which is within the four walls of the Novitiate building. A visit to this garden will reveal rows of fresh green plants with slender stem and pointed leaves, bordering the four plots in a neat array. We started with a scratch this June when the roots were planted and the shoots sprung out within a month. The final result of the efforts is bound to be out within a year. As we thank the Lord for the good yield of last year, we aim to create a sequel to the previous success story. In these times when the condition of the hard pressed Indian farmers is exacerbated, the work with the ginger cultivation will surely help us enter into the experience of the struggling farmers of our country.
