“The concept and extensions were great, but timing, just before school holidays didn’t work. As a teacher, keeping the gardens alive and thriving did not work well and had to find someone to baby sit the seedlings. They then went mouldy. I’m not sure what we did wrong. It was interesting to compare soils, and also to see where the souls came from. Are these Little Gardens contributing to deforestation? Children also expect instant results, so checking gardens every day was great for the concept of good things take time”
