“Felt like a way to just get rid of unused little garden stock. Would have been good to have less seedlings each and ensuring one of each. I felt the kids this year weren’t very in to the seedlings as it came after many of them had already been doing them for weeks witg whanau. Resources with the seedlings were limited ans not hugely engaging without heavy teacher rework/ additions.”
