Review

This review would be short but detailed. Six months of a roller coaster of emotions but all good emotions majority of the time. First two months consisted of getting to know everybody and getting a grasp of the program which was very educational because we learnt from each other...even our" different type of teachers" shared (not just about gardening...personal stuff that they helped with if they could). we had friends who couldn't handle or just wanted to be back home with what makes them comfortable, and others who stuck around for the long fight and became victorious in the long run. All in all, teams alongside mine were really into it.
Next two months was where we had to get deeper into what we learnt and show that we understanded ...it was to show that our first two months wasn't a waste of time...that's where the real challenge came in... all the fun u might be having. This brings u back to reality...saving the earth isn't a game. There were survivors and sacrifices which all turned out to be a good thing eventually. Then the last two months (the best months) was in the communities where those who survived could show and teach their learnings to people outside the program...we made gardens, adventures, memories and even mistakes yet we still made friends to this day...even though the teams has been dispersed (all friends and home garden owners still have contacts in case)...the gardens are still there to show other upcoming teams presented at rva just what the academy is capable of and what they can learn and achieve along the way!.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
