12.01.2022 Today saw two of our stakeholders come together to celebrate Harmony day, the Edible Hub and the Children’s Centre sharing a group experience around planting and growing food. The children were given the opportunity to create seed balls assisted by Pam and Jules, this experience introduced the children to the concepts of growing their own food and they discussed their favorite food to grow, which I believe was carrots. Thank you to Pam and Jules for supplying the resources and their time to the children’s learning.
