Lodge The children arrived at Butterfly Lodge at Oh’ Farms where they were welcomed by Mr. Jeff. He talked to them about the life cycle of a butterfly (egg-caterpillar-chrysalis-butterfly) and the important role they play as one of nature’s most hardworking pollinators. Mr. Jeff also discussed about the difference between a chrysalis and a cocoon. A moth makes a cocoon, which is wrapped in a silk covering while a butterfly makes a chrysalis, which is hard and smooth. After the talk, the group was split into two. One group visited the enclosure where they were able to observe the butterflies in a landscaped garden environment while the other group stayed with Mr. Jonathan who showed them fascinating insects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767750586-XX2I54LAQ0EE5AT60KSD/2.jpg Butterfly Lodge Mr. Jonathan showed the children a caterpillar of a Tawny Coster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767750935-LHRPKT80C000BPR9XHYK/3.jpg Butterfly Lodge Mr. Jonathan showed the children a caterpillar of a Tawny Coster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767751188-B3KRS82AEYPUBAXVLPIW/4.jpg Butterfly Lodge Thrilled to meet a stick insect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767751504-3DFGRLANJJALME4KVCV3/5.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767751810-JH3W2J7P23PBD07WGH4E/6.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767752064-TBNISMOPLGHUJXZ9RE2P/7.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767752610-N5O6P6MHHJIBQVYN1AS3/8.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767752855-DIHDE7MU03XM5YT1NID7/9.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767753205-UHW8XU5I31PEWDTBKMGH/10.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767753448-Z36H1R9XQOYM5T4X2SX2/11.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767753848-YX7RMT04V68H4CF8NN93/12.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767754090-CS75J7BSTROSAXLSJ8H5/13.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767754429-3JOMZVJA3BU1NGETFVEP/14.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767754812-OBB4SEOJLJ8C75OVW1IY/15.jpeg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767755246-UJBBOVGMLNL4J5DMGICF/16.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767755472-TGBIR4DW3BMQWIR97LUF/17.jpeg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767755915-PKGRVGW80B94PK1KLMAC/18.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767756154-P1NN5IE9QNMBM37KHN9T/19.jpg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767756713-JFETEF2VGWRDKLARTGTK/20.jpg Butterfly Lodge The children were brimming with excitement as they walked into the enclosure where the butterflies fluttered freely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767756996-NJE6VS1CMHCNJNVF7WQ7/21.jpeg Butterfly Lodge Mr. Jeff points out a chrysalis to the children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767757778-ELKRY0PFZX37X00TZ7GB/22.jpeg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767758047-CMFMZUZJHEYUIDOC9CCT/23.jpeg Butterfly Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767759378-QHQRA8UK6XA4D8JNS0F1/24.jpg Butterfly Lodge Can you spot the chrysalis? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640767759631-MEARBYN1QXF9WXMKU5CU/25.jpg Butterfly Lodge Afterwards, the children were shown the area where all the vegetables are prepared.

Mr Edward and Ms Debbie explained to the children the dos and don'ts of being around the animals. They should not stand or walk around the back of the horses as this may spook them and the horses may kick out in defence. The children should not make loud noises or jump around near the horses as this will frighten the horses. If the horses have their ears flapped back, it means that they are angry and the children should walk away. When feeding the horses, the children should open and flatten their palms and place the food item in the centre of their palms so that the horses would not bite their fingers. However to be safe, small buckets have been prepared for the children to use to feed the horses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1538123127145-YXQYE1TWX59CQY9BM7R8/image-asset.jpeg Bukit Timah Saddle Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1538123135251-PTIHZRWVD44XYM6XEBYI/20180926_101009+%28Copy%29.jpg Bukit Timah Saddle Club At the pony rides station, the children mounted the ponies from the left. This dates back to ancient times when horses were used as war mounts and soldiers and knights carry their swords and sabres on their left side. They had to mount the horses from the left as it was safer to swing their right legs over the horse.

The children were introduced to the 5 stages - egg, tadpole, tadpole with hind legs, froglet and frog. Mr Jackson explained that the frogs on the frog farm are American bullfrogs. The reason why they are called bullfrogs is because of the sound the frogs make that resembles a bull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640757196159-M7XASDMDGF634JZ7YJN5/3.jpg Jurong Frog Farm They learnt that the American bullfrog lays up to 10,000-30,000 eggs in a cluster. A type of jelly holds the eggs together, giving it nutrients at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640757196371-4EFIY40THD5EK9OENB9Y/4.jpg Jurong Frog Farm During the tadpole stage, the tadpoles breathe through their gills.

The children were intrigued by the designs and were excited to count the number of dragons they could spot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763957051-SXPAPQUIRMUFP5QNM8ZV/10.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Mrs Natalia explained how the dragon was an amalgamation of different animals. They immediately pointed out the scales on the dragon that came from the fish and were excited to learn more about the story behind it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763957347-IAPVN44L01F3RPEGQBOX/11.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763957753-NTTW51N0Z60UGU3JOLAP/12.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum As they sat down, Mrs Natalia began the tale of the fish and the dragon. In the past, the dragons would guard the gate of the river in which the fishes swam into and would not allow the fishes to swim past them. Many fishes were envious of the dragons and would try different methods to get through the gate just so that they could join the dragons. However, no fish succeeded. A baby fish, who refused to give up, discovered that the dragons were very competitive creatures as they were often engaged in various competitions between each other. Then, it came up with an idea to taunt the dragon on its ability to fly. Thus, the dragon sprang into the sky and the fish slipped thru the gate. Instead of getting angry, the dragon smiled and said that the fish deserved to be a dragon as it was able to outsmart the dragon. Then, the scales on the fish gradually became larger and it turned into a dragon. The children identified the moral of the story which was not to give up despite adversities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763957968-GME04DQQFCM7J3Q0AZTM/13.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum They were taken to the next exhibit which included more ceramic products that were mainly from Vietnam. Blue and white porcelain of the Yuan dynasty, which was popular abroad, heavily inspired the Vietnamese in their ceramics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763958347-U8JYIUWLD8W1V9V21I16/14.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Children spotted more creatures like dragon, parrot and lion and were eager to hear another story behind one of the animals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763958541-L4CG8E5CSJ56FAEKFW4D/15.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763959382-9U384Y8W956PB9Z5VMDF/16.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Mrs Natalia sat them down and started the story on how the parrots got their colourful feathers from. A long time ago, in the forest where the parrot lived, a forest fire happened due to the lightning strike. Instead of flying away, the parrot flew to warn his other friends and told everyone to run to the river. However, its friends were trapped by a ring of fire around them. The parrot flew to the river, collected as much as water as it could to put out the fire. As it was doing so, the feathers of the parrot started to turn black due to the smoke. An eagle came and was so touched by the parrot’s determination to rescue its friends that it began to cry. It’s tears put out the fire and cleaned the parrot’s feathers. Sun and rain came and slowly the parrot’s feathers turned colourful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763959649-88925110NX0VTO26OOK1/17.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763960543-1ENYL5DNLCCGB2I1B9HE/18.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Next stop was a creature that intrigued everyone as none of the children had seen before. It’s uniqueness was such that parts of the creature were made out of the strongest and most powerful part of different animals. The name of the creature was Makara. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763960572-WPTA2UNE4W23JQ3JYEFG/19.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum The children pointed out how certain parts of the Makara included the trunk of an elephant, the teeth of the crocodile and the horns of a goat. Mrs Natalia explained that it is usually placed on a boat or in front of one’s house for protection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763962255-APOVHZ7M1K75UWACS9RZ/20.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum The children sat down and listened to a story on how the Makara got it’s jaw from the crocodile. Once, there was a mighty elephant that was boastful and constantly won many races among other animals. One day, it was challenged by a crocodile as it was crossing the river. The fight lasted for weeks and the elephant refused any help from anyone. As the fight went by, the elephant finally asked God for help as it grew exhausted. Thus, God gifted the elephant with the jaw of the crocodile with a promise that it will not grow arrogant. One of the children pointed out how the moral of the story was such that there will always be someone who is better and stronger no matter how strong they think they are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763962277-LOC7VK0XB1D8P2BQHPIM/21.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Mrs Natalia took the children to the next artefact which was of the God Ganesha. They looked at one of the four-armed statue where Ganesha used its trunk to tuck into a bowl of sweetmeats. They pointed out a cobra on his tummy and were excited when they learnt that there is a story behind it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763963185-S5XF4EHOJYY0QD090DR9/22.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763963438-4DOIVDYH6OJR39CW47DF/23.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum The children gathered to listen to the story of how the cobra ended up on Ganesha’s tummy. Ganesha was riding on a mouse while holding plenty of sweet puddings. Suddenly, a snake popped out of nowhere and scared the mouse away. The mouse jumped and as a result, Ganesha fell. His stomach burst open and all the puddings came out. Feeling furious, Ganesha took the snake and tied it around his belly. As all this was happening, the moon was watching from afar and began to laugh. This angered Ganesha and he broke off one of its tusks and hurled it to the moon. Without the moon, the world turned dark and thieves began to roam around terrorizing the area. The Gods pleaded for Ganesha to bring the moon back. He relented but under one condition – the moon would no longer shine in its full glory every night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763964630-C4GJ3FGLA2ESG46O5T8M/24.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Meanwhile, some of the children were taken to view an artefact called ‘Hanuman’ by Ms Anisha. She explained that Hanuman is the devoted monkey general from the Ramayana. It takes the form of a human with a monkey head. The hand at its mouth indicated humility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763965525-USYE5S0QAGYXQIWY4789/25.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum The story, as told by Ms Anisha, regarding Hanuman captivated the children. One day, Hanuman got hungry and could not find any fruits to eat. Then, it saw the rising sun looking red and resembling a fruit. Hanuman mistook it for a fruit and decided to fly towards it at great speed. The sun God saw Hanuman flying towards it and shouted for help. In no time, one of the Gods came down while riding on his elephant, to stop Hanuman. He forgot that he was hungry and began to play with the elephant by pulling its trunk. The God pushed Hanuman away with his powerful weapon, the thunderbolt. It resulted in a huge injury on his face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763967601-ICTS4ZOWIC49OCCD1UAS/26.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum After, they were taken to view another artefact which had the buddha sheltered by the naga – a serpent deity shown as a multi headed cobra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763967829-BH128HVCUW22WWJGYY5Q/27.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763969416-LRJQTWHJ5I0DEHY49F6C/28.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Ms Anisha and Ms Ambica shared a story on how the naga protected the buddha from a flood that happened a long time ago. When the buddha was busy meditating, the heavens darkened for seven days and a heavy rainfall started. As soon as it started, the naga’s body coiled up to serve as a cushion for the Buddha. At the same time, they stretched their heads, providing a hood over the Buddha’s head as a cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763969442-L63PYW5DRLYXQMKSGDAQ/29.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763976127-67EIX1O54X0TKDSAGZEX/30.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum After the session ended, the children thanked the docents and exited the museum. Along the way, they had a scenic walk by the Singapore river as the children made their way to the bus. They all got excited at the sight of the bumboat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763976406-2EKWZ2U58WO8N7325EXE/31.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640763978592-I4GPJF847LUPP6J4VLRU/32.jpeg Asian Civilisation Museum Thereafter, we continued our walk to the bus marking the end of the day’s trip. https://www.thelittlehousemontessori.com/virtual-tour daily 0.75 2020-09-28 https://www.thelittlehousemontessori.com/pacific-agro-farm daily 0.75 2021-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580421189-WDL2XZ3B1U37C29HUMWY/1.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Ms Kaylie welcomed everyone and introduced herself as the tour guide for Pacific Agro Farm. She described the place as a fruit and vegetable farm dating back to 1977. Their produce not only includes vegetables like cherry tomatoes and Japanese cucumber but herbs such as basil and mint leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580420769-8AD42GMFYE58ZLD221UE/2.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580422202-9PK44N9H8CGC19VBSAIE/3.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm We started the tour by walking to the nursery. This is where the seedlings are grown. The cherry tomato seedlings, which were only 2-3 weeks old, were the first ones to be shown. The seedlings were passed around for a closer look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580422841-ORW9LCAPKNEV5SSOP7LV/4.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Sweet basil seedlings; also 2-3 weeks old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580423571-4CGVE19WPW9H200O08SE/5.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580424136-KWZWNOHS01N4S67LB0BU/6.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Ms Kaylie explained that the seedlings cannot be exposed to too much sunlight. The nursery is sheltered in order to reduce the amount of sunlight thus preventing the seedlings from wilting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580424588-FZ5CPCEDQ0MD6EDL7BD7/7.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580424912-O3CVHCM1VUX8VWTAWM6T/8.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580425393-G6IHS8G02HTCVTORVHCX/9.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Next, we were taken to look at one of the four reservoirs which contained water mixed with nutrients. It is measured 4m by 4m wide and 2m by 2m deep. As the produce is grown hydroponically, the water from the reservoir gets transported to the plants via pipes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580425755-0LL6OTXQJOEWCM6RKPGW/10.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580426019-37SVK7IOUGPWDSG4N1PT/11.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm They were then taken to observe and smell the mint leaves. Some of them were able to tell right away, the name of the particular herb. The children enjoyed using their senses to explore the leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580426391-UEE5N7IZRBR1Z58Q4Y6J/12.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580426630-VWILXXVBEGADIID43IA9/13.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580426994-L5L8POOSX2VMRNQUVKPR/14.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580427246-3DV417TAJ518QI7LOA2L/15.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580427613-AQ4B7UJFPJK3ULCC0KWT/16.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm We were taken to have a look at the red leaf hibiscus. It was explained that they are edible and Ms Kaylie described the taste similar to grape skin. They also learnt that this leaf is highly popular among the Taiwanese as they enjoy adding it to their salads and tea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580427851-2M6HRQRSQIAUXSYPCMEX/17.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580428208-692FN5SQQ6QCILQ8O3Z3/18.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm We were lead down the slope to the next stop which was where most of the vegetables are grown. The children gathered in front of the cherry tomato plants and learnt that the lifespan of a tomato is six months. Ms Kaylie explained that they are not grown on soil but cocopeat which are fibres extracted from the husk of a coconut. Some of its benefits include sustainability. In addition, with the nature of cocopeat, it allows air to pass through easily which is beneficial for plant growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580428456-K8PTUI4D3L412HEJT5AE/19.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580428818-J5YJZEJQLN2HJ51DO143/20.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580429104-RM4LH0WHMURDI9NBC4G2/21.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm The children were given the chance to have a closer look at the cocopeat and cherry tomato. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580429461-8VPEV97D3SZIMP5E15SO/22.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580429777-6VOVTMYKDRWNDPNOH763/23.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580430151-G0PG7UWFM14QN0PD22PF/24.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Then, they walked through the greenhouse to look at the Japanese cucumbers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580430462-AXDX9MHH7VIV0FNSZ74C/25.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580430842-RKME4MI7CMDNPI1WQPMQ/26.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Ms Kaylie then led them to have a look at how the white bitter gourds were grown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580431378-LMK7DM4D3DYWLCP9N2DB/27.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580431609-NPC91LARQZ2EMJLBY2XL/28.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm The children walked past the sweet potato leaves and returned to the starting point which marked the end of the tour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580431952-KWZQKU47EGWOVKC3507E/29.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm After they thanked Ms Kaylie for leading the tour, the children made their way to the indoor area to start their planting workshop. They were then greeted by Ms Jamie who explained that there are over 10,000 varieties of tomatoes grown in the world. However, due to our country’s tropical climate, they are only able to grow three types. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580432231-Z5YZXYX033SS52EQXMNH/30.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580432674-CUKN4BI9EJJN0SND3AEW/31.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Afterwards, the children learnt that they were going to transplant a sweet basil seedling into their pot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580432923-OQTY7MUNMR6M357Y2CMG/32.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580433295-J72VOGTDGSLJVO55ESDN/33.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574ba4327c65e4c37e109234/1640580433548-JQNSOX9ITGF2MXB6976V/34.jpeg Pacific Agro Farm Before they began planting, Ms Jamie introduced the children to the different components of their special potting mix.
