Green Heritage Solidarity

Throughout the week, students will be planting olives, oranges and other Palestinian plants and painting olive leaves and learning plant embroidery.

To support Palestinian solidarity, students explore how Palestinians were attacked for celebrating their natural biodiversity. Over 1 million olive trees were destroyed and Jafa orange trees too. Plants like Zaatar were controlled and Palestinians were forbidden to plant heirloom vegetables. The watermelon became a symbol of the Palestinian flag.
