The Eastern Regional Council in collaboration with Piscopo Gardens, delivered a very informative session with our Grade 3 students. The students were all eyes and ears to learn more about seeds and bulbs, how seeds travel, good bugs and bad bugs, the importance of biodiversity and the need for pollinators.
They learnt about plants that can be added to our food such as basil, oregano and lavender. In groups, they played a quiz and learnt more about Malta’s National flower and plant.
