So get in touch with Mindfood, if you have a well lit area suitable for seedlings and want to foster a small tray of emerging seedlings. Contact them below or simply collect them from us during a session. Nurture them as best you can, and bring them back to Mindfood in April. You can keep some plants for yourself as a thank-you! Or if it’s easier, choose your own seeds, and grow something you think the children will love and donate to the Mindfood project!
