​Each year, we work with selected local schools to create a vegetable garden on school grounds and teach the children how to grow food organically, using ‘no dig’ techniques, in harmony with the seasons and the biodiversity around them.

​

The aim of our practical growing programme for schools is to connect children with their true source of food and for them to experience the joy of growing. 

​

From our experience, schools find it difficult to grow strong seedlings to plant into their garden as they often do not have a greenhouse, polytunnel or suitable undercover area. The children also do not tend to have the dexterity in their hands to handle or transplant tiny seedlings without damaging them.

​

​So, if you…

 

• Like growing plants and/or gardening 

• Enjoy the magic or sowing seeds and watching

       them germinate 

• Would like to help children grow vegetables at

       school 

• Have some space in your greenhouse (or

       undercover growing space)  

• Live in the High Wycombe/ South Bucks area

       and have a few hours spare next Spring  

​

then we would love to hear from you!! ​
