Fairtrade Banana Farmer Sandra Joseph has been travelling around schools
in Wales spreading the message of Fairtrade during this year's Fairtrade
Fortnight. While visiting Carmarthenshire schools, she was surprised and amused
by the fact that most of the school children she spoke to said they had seen a
banana tree, and most surprising of all was that they had not had to travel
outside Carmarthenshire to see the tropical plant.
On hearing that the National Botanic Garden of Wales does indeed have
banana trees, Sandra made a special visit to see them.
Most were wrapped up for
winter, but one inside the tropical glass house was bearing fruit, and Sandra
was delighted to pose for a photo she never thought she would see when she left
her St Lucia home
