SPNL also participated in the cherry-picking activity for children and adults at the cherry orchids in Hammana farms. This activity helped in linking people to nature and enjoying the beauty of fruit picking. One of the participants stated that: “The idea of picking from gardens has always been a dream since I live in Beirut”.
