We will be investing more into our enviro group so we can grow more at school and what we grow for soups, pickles, preserves and baking at school - we found much less litter at school and children were trying things they wouldn't even attempt to try at home because everyone was taking part. Loved the collaborative nature of this kit. It included everyone.
