tiny happy

I received two packets of sunflower seeds in the post after visiting a really fantastic project just outside of Wellington: Common Unity Aotearoa. I was visiting with camera and notepad for work (I'm a journalist writing about science education when I'm not writing this blog), because i wanted to write an article about teaching sustainability concepts in early primary school and the CUA project is doing amazing work in their community. 

The sunflower seeds are from the affiliated Project Sunshine– and the brown paper packets are beautifully decorated by the young farmers who also collect and sort the seed. The article's now published in a teacher's magazine, and my own young farmers and I are ready to get planting. Just need some sunshine and a wind-sheltered spot.
