We’ve already had the chance to support this project and visit the school, and it was really great to see it in action. The garden has come together beautifully, and it was especially nice to see students getting involved. What stood out the most was seeing students who don’t usually engage in classroom settings actively participating in the garden. They were hands-on, focused, and clearly enjoying the experience. It showed just how valuable this kind of practical learning space can be. It’s been a really positive outcome so far, and it’s clear the greenhouse and garden are making a difference.
