Pictured here are second years looking at the wildflower seeds on sale in memory of Maya Grace Harnedy who sadly passed away recently. Maya Grace loved looking at colourful wild flowers and in particular she enjoyed spending time in colourful gardens that were full bloom.
They are also raising funds for CDKL5 and the Little Haven Playschool where she attended. It is hoped that people will purchase these flowers and plant them in different places.
