Aim: To provide Growbag Toolkits to schools empowering children to learn through nature, grow their own food, and take action on climate change
Support hands-on climate education through outdoor learning, food growing, and connecting with nature.
Imagine a world where every child, no matter their background, can step outside, breathe fresh air, dig into the soil, and discover their place in the world through nature. A world where learning isn’t just about sitting at a desk, but about real world experiences, connection, curiosity, and climate action.
At Grow to School CIC, this is the world we’re creating—one school, one garden, one child at a time. But we can’t do it without your help.
The Growbag Toolkit: A Ready-to-Use Outdoor Action Kit for Schools
Our Growbag Toolkit is a complete, teacher-friendly solution to bring outdoor learning, food growing, and climate education into every school—without adding extra work.
Each toolkit includes:
It’s everything a school needs to turn a patch of grass—or even a concrete yard—into a thriving climate classroom.

What Teachers Say
“It is essential to teach pupils about climate change and sustainability. The Growbag Toolkit connects children to the food they eat, teaches practical life skills, and delivers the curriculum outdoors. Without this, we risk leaving young people with a sense of helplessness.”
— Andrew Hancox, Scholes Junior and Infant School, Huddersfield

With your support, we can create a future where:
Why We Exist
We believe every child deserves the chance to learn outdoors, grow food, and connect with nature—especially those from disadvantaged communities where green space and outdoor learning are limited.
We know the benefits: being active outside improves children’s physical and mental health. But many face real barriers:
And yet schools—often with little or no outdoor space—are expected to support children’s health, wellbeing, and learning.
This isn’t just about fresh air. It’s about climate resilience, emotional wellbeing, and environmental literacy. It’s about helping children understand how their everyday choices—what they eat, throw away, or plant—shape the future of the planet.
What We Do
We help schools make the most of whatever space they have—a concrete yard, a patch of grass, even a few pots—to create climate-resilient, nature-connected learning environments.
With our Growbag Toolkit, we remove the barriers to outdoor learning and give teachers practical, ready-to-use tools to bring education to life outside the classroom.
How It Helps
We give children empowering, real-world experiences that show them they can make a difference.
The Difference It Makes
We’ve already worked with 715 schools across Yorkshire, helping over 200,000 children reconnect with nature and understand their role in shaping a better future.
Take Sonny, for example, he was struggling—disengaged, disruptive, and disconnected. But when he got outside, something clicked. He thrived in the garden, found pride in his work, and ended the year as a classroom leader.
He left school with a handwritten card that said:
“You have taught me a lot about keeping the Earth safe. You are the best gardening teachers.”
These stories aren’t just feel-good moments. They’re proof that practical, outdoor learning and climate education works.
Sow the Seeds of Change
This isn’t just about growing vegetables.
It’s about growing hope, skills, resilience—and a generation ready to take care of the planet.
One school. One garden. One child at a time.
With your help, we can grow a greener, fairer future for all.
