“My 5 year olds absolutely loved making our little gardens! A favourite was the popcorn obviously!! Because there were so many, the children all became really independent with making them! They also were sharing and helping others who struggled with fine motor development. We have been watching them grow in our school garden for a while now.

We were able to see how easy it was to get seeds from food we already had.”
