They will now be hung on our class wall so we can admire them everyday!

GALA planting.

On Friday we were lucky enough to have Ari's mum in to do some planting with us.

With her help we planted some micro green seeds in eggshells for the gala. We hope to grow these so that customers can buy them on gala day and take them home to use in their salads.

It was lots of fun planing with Jeni, thank you from Room 11!
