“Enrichment beyond the classroom”
Pupils make excellent progress, especially in their communication, reading, writing and number work.
OUR PROGRAMS
Every school is different, different capacity, different land space, different climate through to different desires and outcomes. However we all have the same aim - to get young people and commmunities growing their own food. To break down the worry, anxiety and excuses and to get people access to better and healthier food.

We have tested different approaches and become aware that no one scheme will work in all schools. We believe we have come up with a relaxed approach that can be elaborated upon for you to get the garden that fits your needs, abilities, confidence and skill. Whether you have a container area, converted areas of land, a courtyard or more bespoke growing space, we have suggestions for activities, growing calendars, monthly to do lists and many other handy resources to keep you on track.​

Whether this is your first time coordinating a school garden or you are an experienced gardener we hope we have some handy hints to help you along.
