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.

Peas Please 25/4/8




Minsterworth spent some time thinking about how we can measure the differences between the plants in the different plots and enjoyed acting out farmers, healthy potatoes and really horrible sickly potatoes. We had lots of mad fun throwing imaginary potatoes around the room. Maybe you had to be there.



We then went outside and discovered that...NOTHING had grown yet. But we did set the worms free and plant on some peas I had grown in pots. One of the girls went snap happy with the camera so lots of pics for you this week!
