Year 13B BS-Garden in a Carton

A group of 6 boys from year 13 Business Studies (BS) have opened a small business project under the Young Enterprise Scheme 2022. Garden in a Carton is aiming to educate, solve current issues we are facing (affordability of fresh produce in supermarkets, shortage of fresh crops) and make New Zealand a greener place through their sustainable seedling containers with a pre-planted vegetable, herb or flower. The team is currently working very hard and are in the process of production. The first market day will be conducted within school on Tuesday 26th July 2022. Everyone invited until stock lasts!
