Angus has a special illness and his IQ is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started
learning how to grow flowers. Now, he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and
looking after them. “Before working in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate inclass and sometimes he didn’t want to go to school,” said his mother Kim. “Now he can’t wait togo to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in thefuture,”
