In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? We have learnt that they are more green food groups that we didn't even know existed! Who knew you could eat borage!

“The children loved the whole concept of the Little Gardens. They enjoyed planting them and watching them grow and watering them daily. It was a great product and allowed us to all learn about different types of vegetables. I learnt too as I always thought borage was what cows would eat - not us :) It has inspired us to keep growing our gardens and we are looking forward to eating what we grow. We all remembered the motto - Grow, Protect, Taste A great resource, very well packaged, it ticked all the boxes! Thanks for helping us to make our growing topic more realistic.”

The badges were a highlight (unfortunately many broke within the first week). The coded messages were another highlight and extended the juniors thinking as they worked with buddies to work out the message. It was fun! Thanks!”
