“Amazing - my new entrants are so excited to be part of the little garden league! They have joined the club, planted their plants, are caring for them as part of the classroom group, and donned their badges to look for other little garden league members with pride. They are learning about new vegetables and herbs and we will do lots of cooking once the vegetables and herbs hit their potential! We already had a school garden so these have given us lots of food for thought about what could go into them. It's so nice to see the children are excited about trying new things, and the resource that was provided has helped to slowly raise motivation for getting involved and more importantly, getting inspired! Thanks so much for this.”
