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.

Meauring up at Minsterworth 9/5/08

At last we have something to measure! A lonely pea and some tiny carrots! We did a short session on how to measure plants with rulers and then went out to record some facts. Were the plants happy? How tall were they?

Afterwards we finished our huge bean picture and added some details...like five suns and some green lightening.
