Each day one primary six goes to the Sandaig Garden and takes a few photos. They choose one to post to the How does our Garden go gallery. Hopefully this will let visitors to our site see how the garden changes through the season and it will also let the children experiment with photography. You can leave comments on the photo and let the children know what you think.
