• "A tremendous experience for our school that enabled us to highlight positive aspects of our environmental education and the school as a whole."

• "Dig Your Dinner is a fun way to encourage students to become involved in growing their own food and learning the processes involved in getting vegetables from paddock to plate."
• "A worthwhile experience for the children to see what could be achieved in different gardens."
