“I have given out the wee seedlings and the children are growing them in the class at the moment. We had some spare ones and we have put some in the dark and one has no water and the other one has been saturated with water. We have one that is being properly looked after using lots of sunshine, a bit of water and some children sit and talk to it in the morning! Their choice! We also have one each that we are caring for too.”

“My class and I really enjoyed using this kit. The resources were really well thought and engaging for the children. My kids got hooked when they had to send their application letter, and even wanted to send individual letters to their favourite as well as least favourite vegetables, telling them how they could be even better. However, working in a junior classroom, my students have struggled with the size of some of the resources (ex. the cards with the code on them; they kept on losing theirs so I didn't up printing bigger ones that they could keep at their tables. Similarly, the badges broke really easily, unfortunately. Regardless, my kids have really loved the Little Garden League kit.”
