“The kids loved the growing of the seeds and followed the growing daily. Thank you for giving us this change as we are a Decile 1 school and our kids don’t have these at home. The plants looks awesome and we used some of the great resources that was available. Excellent stories-written by students. Variety of plants. Some we had to research [inquiry based learning]. We are in the process of replanting and kids are excited to look after the new garden. It is a fun way to get the kids working together and they can see the outcome.”
