Originals Garden Organic for Schools
We are delighted that the Prince of Wales's organic food brand, , is the sponsor for our Garden Organic for Schools project. With their help, we’ve been able to continue to provide schools in the UK with the resources they need to set up and manage vegetable growing gardens in their grounds.
The Prince of Wales is concerned about "the growing disconnection between people and the food they eat, particularly amongst young children"... It was an enthusiastic response to a teacher’s survey in the summer of 2003 that encouraged to provide new funding to continue the project. Two further surveys have confirmed that the Garden Organic for Schools project is enabling schools to introduce their pupils to gardening activities where they are delighting in the experience of growing vegetables. Better still, they are also eating the fresh produce, and enjoying it!
