Welcome to the #SchoolVegPledge! We’re on a very exciting mission and we really need your help.
Our big dream is to get tens of thousands of children growing their own veg at school.
We think it’s really important that all children understand where their food comes from. The easiest and best way to do this is to get them growing at an early age. Children love eating the fresh vegetables they’ve grown and they get plenty of exercise and fresh air in the process.
Our Instant School Gardens are the perfect solution…
We’ve developed a fantastic way for any school to begin successfully growing their own. Our Instant School Gardens are boxes bursting with baby organic veg plants that are ready to be planted. Children simply pop their plants into the ground, and a few weeks later they’ll be harvesting their own vegetables (and eating them too.) The gardens come with full growing guides and lesson plans for teachers.
Our gardens work for any type of school even where gardening space is limited, as many of the plants can be grown in pots and containers.
For every £100 pledged we’ll be able to supply a school with both a Spring Vegetable Garden AND an Autumn Vegetable Garden…
They’ll be growing veg all year round with these two Instant School Gardens.
If we reach our initial target of £50,000 we can get 500 schools growing this spring. And if we reach our stretch target of £100,000 we can get 1,000 schools growing.
