“My students loved the little garden school kit. We combined it with our unit all about plants. It was super engaging to have the kids be able to see the life cycle of a plant as the little gardens were growing. They also loved the games that were a part of the kit. They were all very happy to take their plant home to their own gardens at the end of the term.”

“Little garden was amazing in my classroom. The children were so engaged with getting their hands dirty and planting seeds. They watched them grow, learnt new vocabulary about seeds, germination etc. They were so motivated we then purchased seeds and grew our own seedling to sell at our school gala.”

“I found the games and activities quite good for matching the context of the box. Some of the cups did not have seeds in them and some plants required different conditions than what could be found in the classroom. (Snowpeas loved the classroom environment!) Obviously since the plants took time to grow the students simply focused on the 'growth cycle' of the plant rather than recognising what different vegetable plants looked like.”
