“The Little Garden kit was fantastic. It was really well resourced with enough little gardens for each child. As a result of the kit the children's language was enriched as they were very excited about the 'new things in the class' this caused a lot of discussion. The Little Gardens also provided a great spring board for teaching science- the living world. Thank you so much!”

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? There has been a greater uptake of involvement in our Garden Club

In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? We've learnt about many vegetables unfamiliar to the students and they have encouraged each other to try new foods (not just vegetables). They are always excited to tell me when they have vegetables in their lunchboxes at school.

“Our class have loved the excitement around becoming LGL members and growing and looking after their plants. They've really enjoyed breaking the codes, searching books and school for other LGL members. A few of our teachers jumped on board with being LGL members too, to the delight of the kids. The kids have enjoyed learning the names of and recognising different vegetables and seeing pictures of the original LGL members at the supermarket. Thanks heaps for this fun way to finish the school term.”
