Microgreens, the tender shoots harvested just days after germination, are fast becoming a symbol of healthy living. Though small in size, they are packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and flavor, making them a powerful addition to modern diets. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like iron and magnesium, microgreens contribute to stronger immunity, improved digestion, and overall wellness.

Beyond their nutritive value, microgreens are celebrated for their simplicity of growth. With just a tray, clean soil or cocopeat, and regular watering, they can be cultivated at home in a matter of days. Careful attention to hygiene, sunlight, and moisture ensures a fresh and safe harvest.

But microgreens are more than food—they are a lesson in sustainability and mindfulness. They remind us that even the smallest efforts can yield great rewards, just as tiny acts of care and compassion enrich humanity. In every sprout lies a message: growth begins small, but its impact can be immense.

Workshop on Microgreens by Mrs. Keerthana

The School recently hosted an engaging workshop led by Mrs. Keerthana, a Horticulture professional focusing on the fascinating world of microgreens. The session introduced students to the concept of microgreens—tiny, tender plants harvested at an early stage—that are celebrated for their exceptional nutritional value and ease of cultivation.

Mrs. Keerthana explained that microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a powerful addition to a healthy diet. She emphasized their role in boosting immunity, improving digestion, and contributing to overall wellness.

The workshop also provided a step‑by‑step demonstration of how microgreens can be grown at home. Students learned about selecting seeds, preparing trays, maintaining moisture, and ensuring proper sunlight. The resource person highlighted the importance of hygiene, careful watering, and protection from pests to ensure healthy growth.

Interactive discussions allowed students to ask questions and share their observations, making the session lively and informative. By the end of the workshop, participants not only understood the science behind microgreens but also felt inspired to practice sustainable gardening in their own homes.

The event concluded with the message that cultivating microgreens is not just about nutrition—it is also about a step towards mindful living and connecting with nature.
