About Wat Bang Khanun School

Wat Bang Khanun School (โรงเรียนวัดบางขนุน) is a primary school administered by Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. It is located in Moo 2 of Bang Khanun Subdistrict, Bang Kruai, on Bang Kruai–Chong Thanom Road. An October 2023 field report by Food Citizen and Community describes pupils growing salad vegetables along the school balcony and tending mushrooms in indoor growing areas. The work linked practical agricultural learning with food for school lunches and the surrounding community.

A documented example of practical learning

Growing food in limited space

The October 2023 school visit describes salad vegetables planted along balconies and mushrooms grown indoors. Pupils helped grow and care for the produce, connecting classroom learning with practical food-growing skills.

School lunches and community links

The same report says produce was used in school lunches and surplus was sold to parents. It also describes support from nearby Wat Bang Khanun for additional mushroom-growing space. Ask the school which activities continue for the current year.
