“Our class had a great time talking about all the different things that we could grow. We discussed how some people don't have room for gardens and how they could grow things to eat and use as well. Students really enjoyed seeing what we had, talking about the different ones. We took some time to look at ones that some had never seen before which was really cool. They have enjoyed watching them start to grow and you can see the disappointment with the ones that have not yet taken off. Great fun had overall and parents are enjoying seeing the plants growing on the weekly photo on Seesaw!”
