Read the passage: Saving the School Garden

The school garden was created to help pupils learn about plants, insects and healthy food. Each class has a small bed where pupils grow herbs, vegetables and flowers. During dry weeks, pupils water the beds before lessons begin. The gardening club also keeps a notebook to record changes, such as new shoots, damaged leaves and visiting butterflies. Last term, the club noticed that fewer bees were visiting the flowers, so they planted lavender and sunflowers to attract more pollinators.
