Growing Food in Schools

Growing food at school is a great activity for pupils of all ages: it builds teamwork and responsibility, and there are real connections with different parts of the curriculum. Above all, children enjoy the hands-on fun and the thrill of seeing a seed turn into something that is tasty to eat. Growing food can lead to lifelong changes in attitudes to eating the fresh stuff we all need to be healthy.
