“The Little Garden League has opened a whole new door in our classroom. The kids are loving not only watching the growing process but also learning about vegetables and fruit. Our parents have been sending us in pictures of the kids plants at home and getting onboard too. Our tamariki have had a tour round our school orchard and vege garden by our caretaker and we cant wait to do our bit for the school and plant our little gardens in there once they are ready to be replanted. We can't thank you enough, the learning has been massive.”

“My class of boys loved this kit. The mystery and intrigue with setting the scene followed by the science behind the soil tablet had them hooked from the beginning. They have taken great care of the seedlings, keeping them watered and checking on the growth everyday. They were brave enough to try a variety of new vegetables and took great pride in teaching others how to grow plants. We can't wait to take them home and care for them. The secret messages were a great way to keep them excited while we waited for the plants to sprout.”
