For the second year running the GROW students at ESC have been crowned winners at the Bendigo Agricultural Show in Basket of Produce section. The students have been growing vegetables and fruit all year which involves planting (some from seeds) weeding, watering and then picking and arranging. It was great to have the win again even coming ahead of schools that have much bigger and more ‘state of the art’ facilities. A poppy was included in this year’s basket to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
