A way to help with a salad in a tray
The bonus is that you can plant your tray directly in the ground as egg trays are biodegradable.

Thinking of something nice and healthy to eat, whether it be for a meal or a snack? What better than a fresh and healthy salad from your own garden, and at the same time supporting the local Epilepsy SA Free State/Northwest branch’ residents.
The centre’s Salad in a Box project offers you 24 to 30 seedlings of different plants for example tomotoes, cucumber, lettuce, spinach, green pepper and spring onion – all in one tray.
The bonus is that you can plant your tray directly in the ground as egg trays are biodegradable.
Angelique Kleynhans, chairperson of the board of the Epilepsy SA Free State/Northwest Centre, has sown the proverbial seed for the project, after which the centre’s clinic sister, Annelise Labuschagne, set the ball rolling, sponsoring the first seeds and collecting egg trays.
Soon it became a team effort with one of the centre residents, Bous Piek, who took it upon himself to water the trays daily.
All proceeds from the Garden in a Box project goes to the centre.
What better way to lend a helping hand by supporting this creative initiative.
