Education

The CGT Education programme has a few guiding principles:

to encourage children to become more involved in gardening and related activities

 

 

to provide an innovative learning environment for pupils and a useful community resource.

 

 

to get the children themselves to have a say about the kind of garden project they want, to help submit outline plans or designs, and to help create and maintain the garden.

 

 

to provide volunteers who will visit each school regularly, providing advice and support on a range of garden-related activities, from plants and planting to wildlife and conservation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some primary schools have ‘challenging’ sites, to say the least, and few resources to spare.

Both staff and children appreciate CGT efforts on their behalf, and it’s great to see such enthusiasm for the new garden areas.
