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 consider compost 6th June 2008

No photos today, but the "no dig" potatoes are looking pretty healthy!The "no-dig" carrots ar doing better than the "dig" carrots, but all the lovely beans have been munched by the slugs.

We spent a lot of time discussing what can and cannot go into compost bins.
