Green Plants – Who Needs Them?

Our world needs green plants! The children learn about conservation something about caring for plants. We look at how plants feed and produce seeds for reproduction. The importance within food chains is stressed as is their place in the ecology of the living world. The children will explore the life cycle of plants and learn some aspects of identification then explore the gardens with new eyes.
