“This school kit was a wonderful way to engage the students after coming back from our second lock down. They loved the idea of being in The Little Garden League and working towards receiving a badge that they wear so proudly. The students gained a greater sense of initiative and responsibility as they watered and cared for their growing seedlings. The school kit sparked great whole class discussions and the students have continued their LGL duties at home where they are educating their families. Photos have been shared with the teacher or students planting their plants in bigger pots at home. We have learnt how to care for our creation and have a healthier lifestyle. Thank you School Kit!”
