The students at St Thomas RC Primary School in Scotland planted and grew various vegetables like potatoes, broccoli, beans, and kale in their school garden. They harvested the vegetables and used them in their school dinners. The students also renovated and planted flower beds outside their classroom in memory of someone named Monica, getting muddy as they dug out weeds and added compost. They raised money by selling bulb packets to buy flowers for the new Monica Garden.
