“I like gardening with my dad because he teaches me how to grow things. And I really like growing beanstalks because my name is Jack! They also make a really good jungle to play in.”

A tip from Jack’s Dad is:

“It has been wonderful for encouraging him to eat his greens – everything he grows gets eaten which wouldn’t be the case if we bought a bunch of vegies from the supermarket!”
