Pupils enjoy the fruits of their labour

PRIMARY school children who planted seeds in their classrooms last February yesterday enjoyed the fruits of their labour.

The pupils grew a selection of potatoes, lettuce, cabbages, scallions and strawberries, and by doing so, learned a valuable lesson about the source of the food.

The green shoots of Ireland’s farming future gathered at University College Dublin for the final of Agri Aware’s Incredible Edibles growing challenge.
