“We are loving our class little garden! We were watering from the top and not getting any success so we put them all on a tray and tipped the water onto the tray so it seeped up through the little pot and walaaaaaaaah success! The kids came back from the weekend amazed with how much growth had happened. We've had a couple of accidents but hey it all works out in the end and a couple of kids now have mystery sprouts since someone knocked them over when they were getting a bit of sunlight and the label came out. In about three or four days I will send them home to re-plant. The kids have been so intrigued and engaged. It's a wonderful resource! thank you.”
