How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? Most of my children are avid veg eaters

“The kit is wonderful. We started off great. The students were so excited and fully engaged. Then disaster struck. Teacher (me) became unwell and was forced to take 2 weeks off. Unfortunately our seeds sprouted and became stretched through lack of sun. In touch by phone I told teacher aide to put them in the sun during the day. Unfortunately they stayed outside and those unexpected and unreasonable frosts struck. I'm am ashamed of my efforts.”

“It has been absolutely fantastic running a 'Growers Club' using the wonderful resources provided in the School Kit. I run a weekly club at lunch time, and the students are so dedicated to coming each week (and sometimes daily) to check on their little garden that they have started. They have promised to try their vegetables and herbs growing. There has been such a positive uptake in joining our club across the school and I have seen such enthusiasm, passion, and care come out of growing their gardens. Love, love, love it!”
