About our project

From January 2008 the Good Gardeners Association has been given funding by the Ernest Cooke Trust to extend a recent pilot scheme.

We aim to introduce children to the idea that our treatment of soil alters the nutritional quality of the food we grow in it, which in turn affects our health and that of the planet.

This links in with many aspects of the National Curriculum and many current national iniatives.

The project is very flexible and has been run with KS 1 - 3 and in Steiner Waldorf schools. We provide a hands-on learning experience where the children have responsibility for their learning. For more info see "Calling All Schools" post.

Minsterworth 27th June "We are what we eat"

Last time the children had fun eating apricots and seaweed as we found out more about how "we are what we eat"... This time they made pictures of themselves out of good things to eat - rice and beans, noodles and lentils. They also made some lovely little pictures to makes signs for the two growing beds: better late than never!
