President Hodder Shares Green Thumb Secrets With Oakes Field Primary Students LET THE TOMATO GROWING BEGIN! – President of The College of The Bahamas, Janyne Hodder, enthusiastically shared with students of the Oakes Field Primary School her secrets to growing flavourful tomatoes recently while giving the school over two dozen tomato plants from her own garden. Blessed with a green thumb, President Hodder has grown over 30 different tomato specimens including the luscious Arkansas Traveller, Beauty, Thessaloniki and Valenciano. School principal Beryl Gray was grateful for the donation and said, "This was such a nice gesture from President Hodder. We are trying to get our students interested in learning about gardening, The College's donation helps with the learning process." The donation was especially welcome since the Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources has launched an initiative to encourage more citizens and schools to grow their own fruits and vegetables to encourage healthy eating habits and increase efforts towards self-sufficiency for The Bahamas.
