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.

Wild times at Horton 3rd June


The plants have gone wild at Horton, over half term, especially the potatoes. Unfortunately it was so WET on Tuesday that we didn't stay out long enough to take any photos. But we did spend some time writing up the results of the jam jar experiment, and doing some word searches. Next week we're going to start looking at compost.
