“My students loved the Little Garden League school kit! The initial code cracker, badges, and messages from the LGL were loved by all. Students felt a real ownership over their plants and were delighted to find other classes in the school also involved. The activities allowed for whole class participation that meant students were engaged in small group, whole class, and individual levels. They enjoyed every aspect of the school kit and had lots of fun! So did I! We left this kit to start at the beginning of Term 4 so the plants weren't left over the holidays. Thank you so much for this amazing resource! The discussion it created over their favourite vegetables continued through many lunchtimes and they are excited to try the new plants they are growing once they are ready. It has encouraged the students to experiment and try new foods, and I have heard from parents these conversations have continued at home.”

In what ways has this kit improved student awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? My class was very excited to learn about new veges they would like to try at home and some new ones were tied at school that they loved.

How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? Kids were excited to see the many veges we grew. Could have used more time as vegetables didn’t all mature and with price of vegetables so high many children do t get a wide variety at home.

“Great unit that children really enjoyed. Would have liked more of a sequence for teaching outline as somehow missed a step and it affected outcome. Loved the matching game and quality of resources. My year 3 class loved the drama of the setup and we enjoyed writing diaries about what was happening to our seeds. Thank you for showing this great resource. I look forward to doing this again with future groups. It fit in beautifully with our unit on the sun and its role in photosynthesis. Having access to such a wide variety of plants was also very helpful. Each had a different growing time height etc which we integrated onto maths and statistics. More links to other curriculum areas would be helpful if considering any revision of this unit We used this info to lead into another about physical activity and healthy living.”

“The students in my class have LOVED this experience. They have been so excited to watch their Little Garden grow. There is lots of discussion daily about the growth, whose is doing what, why some are not growing as fast as others, how important conditions are, which has led to further discussions and questions from the students. Everything arrived on time, it was easy to register, and I have enjoyed this as a teacher. I would love to do this again!”
