We didn't have gardening in my school except for growing a white bean in a wet paper towel to see it sprout. Me and a friend got in trouble for picking rhubarb that was growing in the school yard. The dumb teacher thought we would poison ourselves !!
We did the bean in a wet towel one too Maybe teacher thought you would eat the leaves? I stopped my school mate eating a laburnum seed pod, he thought they looked like peas He later went out with my girlfriend and then married another of my girlfriends Knowing both of the girls he probably wished he'd eaten the laburnum now Thing I remember most about the school garden was putting my hand in a hole in the wall where they'd poisoned a wasp's nest. Pulled out a section of comb still covered in drowsy wasps and had live grubs in it
