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.

Horton, 1st July 2008


We have now done enough measurements to plot the data. We are also getting ready for the great taste testing which should be happening in two weeks time. Barny Houghton from the sustainable restaurant "Bordeaux Quay" in Bristol is coming to visit us for this!





We spent a while this week weeding and tending the plants, as the bindweed is enjoying the nourishing soil too.








Couldn't resist including this to give a hint of the glorious setting of Horton - lucky children!
