Stall Holders on the Day
Food Gardening for Schools
Food Gardening for Schools
Growing food: an extracurricular activity –
* that has a beneficial effect on class work, improving concentration.
* that provides healthy exercise and develops co-ordination and dexterity.
* that produces a health-promoting end product, which children will want to eat, having put in the effort to grow it.
With pupils’ help I can create and manage a highly productive and attractive kitchen garden. During 30 years of organic gardening, including 20 years of self-sufficiency and eight as a professional gardener, mostly in walled gardens, I have developed an efficient and productive system of design that is practical and visually pleasing, as well as some innovative and labour saving techniques of soil management. The result is that a larger area can be managed, producing more per square metre, than might conventionally be assumed.
Some climate scientists predict that by the end of the century most of the currently occupied area of the earth will be uninhabitable desert. Knowing how to grow food will become an increasingly valuable skill. As well as the health-promoting, life-enhancing value of gardening, it is simply enjoyable and satisfying, with many educational, social and psychological benefits – but only if results are good. To get good results much knowledge is needed, to do the right things at the right time.
