In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? Students understood that food came from somewhere, not just the supermarket and that they could grow their own.

“My students loved LGL. They were sad when the last message came through and wanted to know more. They have taken great care of their plants. This was a great resource and I loved the way you created a buy in for the students. LGL and the clubroom was an awesome idea.”
