Two years ago, the roof of our school in Holon was empty and grey. Nobody went up there because there was nothing to do. Then our biology teacher, Mr. Peretz, had an idea: a vegetable garden.

At first it was difficult. The roof gets a lot of sun, so the plants needed water every day. Because of this, we made a list, and now every class takes care of the garden for one week. We also put a large cloth over part of the roof, so the young plants don't burn.

Now the garden gives us tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs. We give some of the vegetables to the school kitchen, so the younger children eat fresh salad at lunch. We sell the rest at the school market, and we use the money to buy seeds for the next year.

Many students love the garden because it is a quiet place in a noisy school. "I come here when I feel stressed," says Tal from the eleventh grade. "Plants don't ask you about your exams!"
