What they are saying about the experience
"the kids were so keen to get out and get their hands dirty and test the PH of the soil, learn a bit about the indigenous background of the plants, dig the dirt for the plants, use the special paint pens to make and decorate name markers for each new plant, water their new plants, and then drink some hot homemade lemon myrtle tea.......a wonderful end to a great incursion!......Thank you so much for allowing our school to be part of this project....we are very grateful for this opportunity and experience!
