How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? Students learnt new vegetables but continually asked what they were. Could possibly include like a scavenger hunt sheet for in the garden.

“This school kit was an amazing addition to our new school garden. Students used the kit to not only grow the kai for our garden but also measure the stalks for growth. We charted them to see which grew the fastest and described the shapes that they were. Tamariki are excited to try them when they grow through.”
