“Our Little Garden from sponsored by New World has been amazing. We set our garden up in the class and the children loved watching all the plants grow, especially as they grew at different rates. Heaps of excitement when they popped through the soil. The special part for the class was taking the seedlings out when they were big enough and planting them in the school garden. Many children from the class regularly check on the plants! Our next step is to watch our seedlings and have a tasting time when they are ready. This should be interesting as a number of the children have not tried these foods before. Thanks to everyone involved from us :)”

“The Little Garden League Kit was a huge success. Our only problem was that we didn’t have enough time to complete all of the activities that we would have liked to. On the bright side, the students have played a key part in planning out how to continue the learning that we started - we plan to continue our learning to the end of the year, and into next year too! The hands-on nature of this kit created a sense of ownership, wonder and awe for my students. Thank you School Kit and New World!”
