On Tuesday 8th April 2025, at 12 noon, volunteers from Siġar will be working alongside EkoSkola students from Gozo College Guzè Aquilina Primary School & Special Unit, to dig holes ready for the planting of fig trees in a carefully selected area of the school grounds (see photo). ![]()

The locally grown Fig Trees, are known as ‘Ficus carica’ (latin name) and ‘Tina’ or ‘Farkizzan’ in Maltese. ![]()

After the planting holes have been prepared, Siġar will then provide volunteers and all the necessary gardening tools for students to use when they plant the fruit trees at a later date in the month.

Siġar is dedicated to plant trees in collaboration with Gozo schools and local councils. ![]()
Our enthusiastic volunteers are planting trees. We need tools, safety vests and other equipment. And, as you know money doesn’t grow on trees. Please make a donation to support Siġar. ![]()

🙏🌳🙏🌳🙏🌳🙏
In collaboration with Zebbug mayor Baskal Saliba, Siġar has proposed 2 sites to Project Green.![]()
Both sites will need watering solutions as we don’t believe in planting trees if they will be left to die later on! Innovative irrigation solution to be assessed and need to be included in the project. ![]()
