In what ways has this kit improved students awareness of nutrition and healthy eating? It has given them a sense of where veg comes from, how to nurture it. It has also helped them to see that veg can be delicious.

“Our tamariki absolutely loved being a part of the Little Garden League. We have had three kits this year and this one was the one they enjoyed most and the only one that was suitable for Yr0-2s. They loved planting the seeds, doing the codes, and learning about plants. We set up a vege tasting time every Thursday where we cooked a different recipe with one of the veg as the star (onion bhajis, broccoli tots etc) and the kids (mostly) loved trying new and exciting vegetable recipes. Mum's have been raving about it. Kids have been going home and requesting spinach smoothies and corn fritters. Yay and thanks!”
